PETER HENDERSON & CO.— FLOWER SEEDS. 



PERILLA. 



Per Pkt. 



Having black purple-colored foliage, this ornamental 

 plant makes a hue contrast with any of the light or 

 silver-leaved plants usually used for lawn groups or 

 ribbon-line gardening. Same culture as for Coleus.

TYPES OF KEW SINGLE AND DOUBLE FANCY HYBE1D PETUNIAS 



PETUNIAS. 



For outdoor decoration in summer scarcely any plant 

 equals this. Taey dower the first season, even if sown 

 in the open ground, but usually not before July or Au- 

 gust. If sown in the hot-bed in April they will bloom 

 in June, and be larger and liner plants. 

 Petunia Hybrlda. Finest striped and blotched va- 

 rieties mixed (Saved from Peter Henderson's col- 

 lection i '5 



. New Dwarf Inimitable. Most desirable for 



general cultivation, inasmuch us it adds to our ganlensa 

 Petunia which is> really dwarf. It forms a compact plant 

 from 5 to 8 inches high by as much in diameter, and 

 thickly covered with cherry -red flowers, each of which is 

 marked by a white star; occasionally a few seedlings will 

 appear, whose blooms will he of another hue. This Pe- 

 tunia will be very effective for massing, and admirably 

 adapted for pot-culture. It will be found, also, a valu- 

 able sort for market culture, from its dwarf habit 25

NEW FANCY HYBRID. 



An entirely distinct strain from the ordinary Petunia. 

 The flowers are of immense size and exquisite colors, 

 shades and markings. Tno double and single Fiinbri- 

 ata sorts have beautifully fringed petals. The double 

 and single" M irginata" sorts are bordered with green 

 on each petal, making them very attractive. 



It is. perhaps, not generally understood that the 

 seeds of double Petunias are only obtained by artifici- 

 ally fecundating single blooms' with the pollen from 

 the double, making tno seed necessarily nigh-priced, 

 and the progeny cannot be expected to all o,..,- 

 double. The finest double Petunias are always grown 

 from seeds; when propagated by cuttings they degen- 

 erate rapidly. (See full-page illustration in Catalogue

PHLOX. 



rhlnx Thrummonilii, to which section nearly all the fol- 

 lowing classes and varieties belong, is one of the very 

 finest of annual plants, and stands almost unrivaled 

 lor profusion and duration of bloom and richness of 

 (•(dor. The 'Grandiflora,' or large-flowering varieties, 

 are a great improvement over theoldex sorts, the flow- 

 ers being half as large, again, and as freely produced. 

 The Hcynholdii and Nana Compacta class are especi- 

 ally fine, their habit of growth being dwarf and com- 

 pact and one mass of bioom. Both these sections have 

 recently been largely grown in pots by florists for mar- 

 ket purposes, with great success — one variety, in fact,
