NEW MONTHLY CARNATION, 



" Snowdon." 



The engraving (on last page of cover) gives an exact represen ta- 

 il on of this most valuable new Carnation, but reduced to half 

 the natural size. Its merits are that the flowers are of the purest 

 white, borne in unequaled profusion on plants that rarely ever 

 exceed one foot in height. This quality of dwarfness makes it 

 exceedingly valuable, as it can be grown close to the glass on 

 front benches of the greenhouse. As a pot-plant for the parlor, 

 or for market purposes, it has no equal in Carnations. We pur- 

 chased the entire stock from the raiser, Mr. John Henderson, 

 Flushing, L. I., in September, 1879, for $500, and it is now for the 

 first time offered for sale 



Stock plants, $3.00 each. 



Strong, well-rooted plants in 3 inch pots, 50 cents each; $4.50 



per dozen ; included in set of New Carnations for $6.00. 



Monthly Carnation, " Peter Henderson." 



MONTHLY CARNATION, 



" Peter Henderson." 



Nanz & Neuner, of Louisville, Kentucky, have complimented 

 us by naming this Carnation as above. It is one of the freest 



winter-flowering varieties ; largest size dwarf habit, and pure 

 white." (See Cut.) 



50 cents each ; $4.50 per dozen. 



Campsidium FnjciFOLniM. 

 CAMPSIDIUM FILICIFOLITJM. 



An elegant climber, of rapid growth, for greenhouse culture, 

 the leaves of which much resemble the fronds of a fern, in 

 miniature, giving it an unusually graceful appearance. It may 

 be grown as a pot-plant, or trained to the rafters. Very desira- 

 ble. [See Cut.) 



60 cents each ; $6.00 per dozen. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM, " Late Duchess." 



A dense growing variety, of free branching habit ; flowering 

 freely from October to February. The flowers are of good shape, 

 from 2 to 3 inches in diameter, pure white. The variety will be 

 found valuable for cutting purposes, as it is in bloom when 

 white flowers are in great demand. 



75 cents each ; $6.00 per dozen. 



CISTUS LADANIFERUS.) 



A hard-wooded greenhouse shrub. The flowers are 2 inches 

 in diameter, of a creamy white color, and shaped like a saucer. 

 The inside of the flower is beautifully dotted with dark maroon 

 spots. Very scarce and rare. 



75 cents each ; $6.00 per dozen.
