PETEP HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



DlANTHOS QUERTEKI. 



DIANTHUS QUERTERI, (German Pink.) 



Thi3 beautiful pink we imported some eight years ago, but it 

 is yet scarce- Few plants we cultivate possess so many points of 

 excellence; it grows to the height of a foot; flowers rich purplish 

 crimson, two inches in diameter, double, and well-formed; it 

 blooms without intermission from June to January, and is an 

 exceedingly useful plant for bouquets; clove-scented. (See Cut.) 

 30 cents each ; $3.00 per dozen. 



Ifflk 



Geeanium, "Distinction." 

 NEW ZONALE GERANIUM, "Distinction." 



The merit of this variety lies in its peculiar leaf-markings, 

 the leaves being encirc'ed near the edge with a very narrow 

 zone of deep black. The cut (half natural size) represents it 

 exactly. 



75 cents each. 



APPLE-SCENTED GERANIUM. 



The Apple Scented Geranium is usually more scarce than any 

 of the scented varieties, from the fact that its manner of growth 

 is such that it never makes good plants when grown from cut- 

 tings, and must be grown from seed to produce good plants. 

 Our plants this season are particularly fine. 



40 cents each; $1.00 per dozen. 



GERANIUMS, ZONALE-General Collection. 



This class of plants, having proved so admirably adapted for 

 bedding purposes in our hot and dry summers, are now culti- 

 vated in larger quantities than any other plant, with the excep- 

 tion, perhaps, of the Verbena. A bed of Geraniums, consisting 

 of nearly a hundred varieties, was one of the finest sights in 

 our grounds last season. Below will be found a list comprising 

 old standard varieties, and embracing many of the newer and 

 finer sorts of our late importations. For the 9 Gems of the Zonalcs
