PETER HENDERSON'S LIST OF NEW AND SCARCE PLANTS. 



NEW COLEUS. 



The varieties below named and described are seedlings 

 of our own raising which have never been offered be- 

 fore. Although New Coleus do not possess the same 

 value that they did a few years ago, yet the improve- 

 ment of these over the new varieties of two years ago is 

 so marked, that they cannot fail to be valued and 

 popular 



Bohemian. A handsome variety, of bushy habit. 



Its foliage presents a beautiful blending of piDk, 



yellow, orange and magenta.. 

 Chas. Dickens. Striking crimson, maroon and rose. 

 Count Cavour. Carmine, edged with black; of the 



"Kentish Fire " style; but better. 

 Gold Dust. A very promising yellow, of fine habit. 

 Jas. Markey. Deep maroon black, blotched in the 



centre with dark pink ; distinct and splendid, 



50c. 

 Midnight. Dark maroon, flamed with crimson; a 



robust grower. 

 Rugby. An advance on all existing varieties of 



its style ; centre, creamy yellow, banded green ; 



the green rimmed with crimson. The veins and 



stalks arc very prominent, and are bright crimson 



also. 



20 cents each, except where noted. 

 Set of 7 for $1 50. 



DELPHINIUM NUDICAULE. 



A scarlet flowered Larkspur. Perfectly hardy, dis- 

 tinct and fine.

EUCHARIS AMAZOXICA. 



EUCHARIS AMAZONICA, "Amazon 

 Lily." 



A lovely hot-house plant, which may be had in bloom 

 almost the entire season, if a moderate supply of plants 

 are had, small plants usually sending up stalks which 

 bear five or six large pure white star-shaped flowers, four 

 inches across, deliciously fragrant. It wants a warm at- 

 mosphere with plenty of moisture. The flowers bring 

 very high prices. (See cut.)

Six Extra Fine New Double Geraniums. 



Candidissima Plena. — Pure white, retains its snowy 

 whiteness both in pots and bedded out. 



Batachan. Salmon color, very fine.

 with the well known single scarlet, but with the 

 advantage of being semi-double. 



Double Striped Vesuvious. — Semi-double scarlet, 

 striped with white. 



Peter Henderson. — This is probably the best of the 

 set, as it is the best of its color. Brilliant orange

 variety. 



M. Pasteur. Tiolet crimson. 



Set of Six for $1 00 . 



NEW CLIMBING HYDRANGEA, 

 (Scliizophragma Hydrangeoides.) 



We believe we were the first to offer this valuable 

 climbing plant, either here or in Enrope. Mr. Thos. 

 Hogg describes it as clinging to trees to the height of 

 fifty feet, producing corymbs 'of white flowers of the size 

 of ordinary Hydrangeas. It clings exactly like Ivy and 

 one can imagine the effect of a wall or tree so covered, 

 while in full bloom. Like all Japan plants of that 

 character, it is entirely hardy. 



1st size $3.00 per doz. 



2d " 2.00 



HIBISCUS DENNISONII. 



A most beautiful variety with the rose colored flowers, 

 which resemble those of Amaryllis Atamasco in shape 

 and color. The flowers measuring four inches across, 

 are borne freely on upright stalks perfectly erect instead of 

 slightly drooping, as the other varieties of Hibiscus 

 mostly are. 



$2.00 per doz.
