PETER HENDERSON'S LIST OF NEW AND SCARCE PLANTS. 



ACHIMENES. 



A beautiful class of plants that are largely grown in 

 Europe. Flowers li inches in diameter, embracing the 

 different shades of pink, carmine, purple and rose. Use 

 one-half moss in the soil in which they are potted.

BONAPARTEA JUNCEA. 



A very scarce genus of plants, with long, graceful 

 rush-like leaves ; very attractive when grown in a vase 

 out-of-doors in the summer. Flowers borne on large 

 spikes. It requires a warm temperature in the winter. 

 $2.00 per doz. 



NEW CORAL PLANT, 

 (Erythrina Hendersonii.) 



The great beauty of this plant cannot be told by a 

 description. If set out in the open ground in spring, it 

 blooms without intermission all summer. The flowers 

 are large and brilliant, dark scarlet crimson in color, and 

 fairly cover the plant when in full bloom. The old " Coral 

 Plant," Erythrina C. Galli, only flowers well when two 

 or three years old, but this acquisition is grand the first 

 season. $3,00 per doz. 



COCOS WEDDELIANA. 



This is without doubt the most elegant palm in culti. 

 vation for table decoration or for the conservatory. Its 

 leaves are almost as finely cut as some varieties of ferns. 

 $1,50 each. 



COCOS INSIGNIS. 



A fine new variety stronger growing than the pre- 

 ceding. $1.50 each.

SCARLET CARNATION, 

 "Lady Emma." 



We have long needed a Carnation of intense scarlet 

 color, good size, and at the same time free-flowering qual- 

 ities. In this variety we have all these qualifications in a 

 marked degree. " Lady Emma" has now become a stan- 

 dard sort, as it surpasses in brilliancy of color all the other 

 varieties. It is a most profuse bloomer, and an un- 

 usually strong healthy grower. Strong plants from the 

 ground $25 00 per 100. (Ready September 15th.)
