PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



DAHLIA IMPERIALIS. 



The flowers are single ; the petals radiating from a yellow disc, are of the purest 

 white, except a crimson spot at the base. The flower, which is bell-shaped and drooping, 

 resembles a gigantic Lily, for when in full bloom the plant is from eight to ten feet in 

 height, having from forty to fifty of these Lily-like flowers expanded at once. It blooms 

 rather late for our latitude, unless the plants are very strong when planted out, but it is 

 well worth a place in the conservatory. It does well in the Southern States. 

 Price 75 cents each ; f 7 50 per dozen. 



DELPHINIUM BICOLOR GRANDIFLORUM. 



This beautiful variety is increased by seeds, equally so as the well-known " D. For- 

 mosum," which it resembles in many respects, but with the improvement of having a 

 much larger and clearer defined white centre, encircled by the richest shade of azure blue. 

 It blooms almost without intermission from July to October, and, being entirely hardy, 

 is a valuable acquisition to our herbaceous plants. See cut. 



Large plants, 50 cents each ; $4 50 per dozen. Smaller, 25 cents each ; $2 25 per dozen ; 

 $15 per hundred.

 in length. This is a very distinct sort, and of a very rare shade of color. 



Price 50 cents each ; $4 50 per dozen. Smaller, 25 cents each ; $2 25 per dozen.
