PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



45 



CERANIUM, Mrs. POLLOCK.— Golden Tricolor. 



The ground color of the leaf is deep green : next conies a zone of bronze crimson, the 

 margin of which is tinted with scarlet ; then again a belt of lighter green, the margin of 

 the leaf being clear yellow. As an ornament for the parlor or conservatory, nothing yet 

 excels this beautiful class, of which Mrs. Pollock is a type ; the flowers are dark scarlet, 

 in good sized trusses, borne on short footstalks but a few inches above the leaves. It 

 succeeds well in the open border in early summer and in fall, but during the hot months 

 of July and August loses, to some extent, the rich coloring of the leaves. The leaves are 

 much used in bouquets in winter. 



Price 50 cents each ; $4 50 per dozen. 



GERANIUMS, GOLD, SILVER, AND BRONZE LEAVED. 



The varieties as named below are selected from nearly fifty sorts in our collection, as 

 being the best representatives of this deservedly popular class of plants. Although in our 

 hot and dry summers the beautiful markings of the leaves are, to a certain extent, lost, 

 yet, as a plant for greenhouse or parlor culture, nothing is more worthy of cultivation. 

 They are now, perhaps, the most popular plants we cultivate as house plants, and their 

 leaves being extensively used in baskets and bouquets of cut flowers in winter, large por- 

 tions of the space in our greenhouses are occupied by them. 



Arthur Wells, bronze-leaved, flowers scarlet. 



Alma, leaves dark green, silver margined. 



Beauty of Oulton, light green maroon. 



Black Hawk, dark bronze zone on a yellow ground.
