PETER HENDERSON'S CATALOGUE. 



NEW ROSE, " Perle de Jardin." 



The buds of this Eose are nearly equal to those of Marshal 

 Neil, but as it is a true tea bush Rose and not a climber (hav- 

 ing the habit of Saffrona somewhat), it is more valuable for 

 general purposes ; blooming freely when planted out from 

 young plants the first season, which the "Marshal Neil" will 

 never do. Color deep yellow ; buds large, full, and finely 

 formed. 



1st size, $1.50 each ; 2d size, $1.00 ; 3d size, 50 cents. 



" Nzphetos." 



TEA ROSE, " Niphetos." 



This is the Eose par-excellence. Color of the purest white ; 

 large, full, fragrant. It grows dwarf and compact, and flowers 

 in great profusion, nearly every shoot producing a bud. It is 

 now grown almost exclusively as being the best White Tea Eose, 

 either for winter or summer. Ever in bloom, and possessing 

 all the qualities in a Eose. (See Cut). 



1st size, $1.00 each ; $9.00 per dozen. 2nd size, 60 cents each ; 

 $6.00 per dozen. 3d size, 30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen.

Eose, "American Banner. " 



NEW STRIPED TEA ROSE, 



"American Banner " 



The cut hardly gives a fair representation of this novelty, one- 

 of the most wonderful, in our opinion, that has ever occurred 

 amongst plants. It originated with Mr. Cartwright, a florist of 

 Dedham, Mass., three years ago, and I purchased the entire 

 stock; so that, until our Catalogue for 1879 was issued, we held 

 the exclusive stock. It originated in a " sport" from Tea Bon 

 Silene, but bears no resemblance to it whatever, except in fra- 

 grance, which is identical ; the leaves are entirely distinct 

 from any other rose, being small, thick and leathery. That it will 

 remain constant in its striped character I have not the slightest 

 doubt. We have had plants of all sizes budded, and on their 

 own roots, growing in all conditions ; and every flower, without 

 exception, has held exactly to the marking shown in the Cut. 

 It is of an exceedingly free-blooming character, every shoot pro- 

 ducing a bud, whether planted in the open ground or grown for 

 winter flowers. (See Cut). 



1st size, $3.00 each; $30.00 per dozen. 



2d " 2.00 " 18.00 



3d " 1.50 ■; 12.00 



SALVIA, "Mrs. Stevens." 



This is identical with the well-known " Scarlet Sage," except 

 the color, which is deep crimson, making a fine contrast with 

 the intense scarlet of the old sort. A truly valuable acquisi- 

 tion. 



50 cents each ; $4.50 per dozen. 



SALVIA BETHELII. 



A compact grower. It flowers very profusely ; color bright 

 rosy pink, tipped with w T hite. A distinct novelty in this well- 

 known class. 



75 cents each ; $6.00 per dozen.
