PETER HENDERSON & CO.— FLOWER SEED NOVELTIES. 



Per Pkt. 

 are magnificent flowering plants in pots, and in Europe 

 are extensively bedded out, flowering in the greatest 

 profusion all summer. The individual florets will average 

 from 2 to 3 inches in diameter, and in the collection we 

 offer lovely shades of crimson, scarlet, yellow, amber, 

 purple, maroon, and pure white are to be found in both 

 the double and single classes. They should be sown in the 

 green-house or parlor in February, afterwards potted off, 

 and if to be bedded out, should be planted in May. Take 

 up after the frost has killed the foliage, and keep the 

 bulbs in a warm, dry place. These will mate strong 

 flowering plants the next season, (.see cut.)

CAMPANULA CALTCANTHEMA ROSEA. 



" Pink Canterbury Bell." 



•tie of the most beautiful sights we saw in England last 

 summer was a large bed of this peerless variety, its 

 brilliant pink bells rendering the plant a striking object 

 hundredsof feet away. The class C. Medea Calycantheina, 

 to which this variety belongs, is anew form of the old 

 Canterbury Cells (distinguished by the calyx forming a 

 *np around the base of the bell or corolla). Of this form 

 we already have a blue and white variety, now largely 

 grown, and we are sure that this rink Canterbury Cell, 

 ff it may be so called, being so much more beautiful, 

 will come into even greater demand. (See cut) 25 



NEW GIANT PERFECTION, TEN 

 WEEKS' STOCK. 



The persistent efforts of German growers to improve this 

 most important annual finds one of its best n suits in tins 

 splendid new race. The plants of the New Giant Perfec- 

 tion are pyramidal in shape. 2ii feet high, and producing 

 long spikes of double (lowers, much larger and finer than 

 the ordinary Ten Weeks' Stock. Seed offered in mixed 

 colors 25 



DOUBLE STOCK FLOWERED TALL 

 LARKSPUR. 



"Lustrous Carmine." 



This is the name given to a very striking, new variety ot 

 larkspur; the finest sort we think yet introduced. Its 



Per Pkt. 

 color is a fiery or lustrous carmine, and bedded out, pro- 

 duces a most brilliant effect 2t 



AMMOBIUM ALATUM GRANDI- 

 FLORUM. 



The flowers of this new sort are pure white, and double the 

 size of the old Ammobium Alalum. so largely used as a 

 dried or everlasting flower in winter bouquets, etc. The 

 seeds of this new sort are much larger than the old spe- 

 cies, wliich would go to show that it is distinct 2* 



NEW DWARF MARVEL OF PERU. 



A new Dwarf White Marvel of Peru, in every way desir- 

 able. Fully developed plants of this novelty are never 

 more than 10 inches in height, completely stndded with 

 snow-white flowers contrasting finely with its yellowish 

 foliage. The introducer says that it comes entirely true 

 from seed, and we have no doubt will be found most 

 useful for ribbon line gardening M 



NEW SINGLE PETUNIAS. 



The two named varieties offered below are such markedly 

 distinct sorts, that we have deemed them worthy of 

 special mention. In both sorts the flowers are unusually 

 large, with deep, dark throats beautifully veined to the 

 base.

PHLOX 



DRUMMONDII 

 ALBA. 



HEYNHOLDII 



This new dwarf-growing variety makes one of the very 

 prettiest pot plants imaginable, but is of little or no use in 

 the open ground. It comes entirely true from seed, at- 

 tains a height of 4 or 5 inches, and in full bloom is com- 

 pletely studded with pure white flowers 25 



NEW PRIMULAS. 



Globosa Rubra, and Globosa Alba. 



We offer a red and white variety of an improved strain of 

 Chinese Primrose known as the " Globosa;" the flowers 

 are certainly much larger than other existing sorts, 

 while the habit of the plant is dense and compact. Either 

 variety ts

 among the rocks and gathered by tourists and mountain
