PETER HENDERSON'S CATALOGUE. 



GERANIUMS. 



(Shown by Colored Plate). 



Descriptions of these are unnecessary, as the colored repre- 

 sentations are as true to nature in size, shape and coloring as 

 they well can be. They have been selected for this purpose as 

 the very best representatives of their respective classes, having, 

 besides beauty and diversity of color, all the best qualities of 

 Bedding Geraniums — compactness of growth and profusion of 

 flowering. 



The 9 single varieties, as shown by colored plate, 75c. each; 

 $4.50 per set. The 6 double varieties, as shown by colored 

 plate, 75c. each; $3.00 per sat. The full collection, 15 sorts, 

 double and single, $6.00. 



KKKDS. — We offer a large packet, containing seeds of all 

 9 types of Single Geraniums shown in colored plate, mixed, 

 for $1.00. 



We do not offer seed of the double kinds shown in plate. 



Geranium, " Happy Thought." 

 GERANIUM, "Happy Thought." 



This is still universally admired. A novel style of leaf varie- 

 gation in the Geranium, differing from the ordinary form in 

 having a large yellow blotch in the centre of the leaf, with an 

 outer band of green at the margin. Flowers rich magenta 

 rose; dwarf. A good bedder. The cut is a very good represen- 

 tation of it. 



50 cents each; $4. 50 per dozen. 



NEW BRONZE GERANIUMS. 



There is such a similarity in the general colors of bronze 

 Geraniums that special descriptions can give but little idea of 

 their individual character and good points. We would only 

 say that the below-named kinds are mostly new varieties and 

 are extra fine, containing all the best features of coloring, habit 

 and vigor of growth known in the old varieties. 



Chieftain . Jos. Herkraan, 



C. P. Peach. Miss McMahon, 



Karl Roslyn. Pres. McMahon. 



W. E. Gambleton. 



60 cents each; $6.00 per dozen. Set of 7 sorts for $3.00, 



NEW SINGLE ZONALE GERANIUMS, 



Extra Erne. 



The below-named set we are certain will give satisfaction. 

 Although there are now thousands of varieties of Single Gera- 



niums, these are all markedly distinct, being selected to giT9 

 the greatest Tariety of color and finest formation of flower. 

 Darwini. Dark magenta, immense truss. 

 Erekman Chat ra in. Crimson, extra large trass. 

 Ed. About. Mauve. 

 Guinea. Orange scarlet. 

 Mrs. Fenn. Deep rose.

 Rev, Mr. Atkinson. Dazzling scarlet. 

 Theo. Goignean. Golden scarlet. A distinct color. 

 75 cents each; set of 9 sorts for $4.50. 



NEW DOUBLE GERANIUMS. 



The improved feature in double, or rather semi-double, Gera- 

 niums is selection of dwarf habit and profuse blooming kinds, 

 which makes them equal to the single for bedding, beside the 

 great value of their double flowers for bouquet purposes. This 

 set has been very carefully selected, and are about as near per- 

 fection as the Geranium is ever likely to get. 

 Rural. Beautiful cherry color. 

 Depute Laflize. Bright crimson. 

 Henry Bennet. Beautiful salmon. 

 J. C. Rowland. Light pink. 

 Lafayette. Deep rose.

 number, for $7.50. 



Ivy Geranium, "King Albert." 

 IVY GERANIUMS. 



The Ivy Geraniums are now being used largely as basket and 

 vase plants, and for house plants to train on trellis, either up- 

 right or drooping. Few plants are more easy of culture or 

 more attractive; both flowers and foliage are now very varied, 

 and in King Albert (See Cut) we have a very fine double rose 

 color.

 son zone.
