PETER HEI^DERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE PLAls^T LIST 



AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII. 



Sometimes called "Boston Ivy" and "Japan Ivy." 



No picture can portray the beauty of this grand climbing plant. 

 It is adapted to all situations, and transforms the humblest cot- 

 tage. It is entirely hardy in the most exposed places, attaining a 

 height of 20 to 30 feet in two or three years, clinging to stones, 

 brick or woodwork with the greatest tenacity. It is a great pro- 

 tection to houses, as the leaves lapping over each other like slates 

 on a roof effectually prevent rain from penetrating the walls. 

 For covering dead trees, gate posts, boundary walls, verandas, 

 etc., is has no equal, while its rapid growth and tenacious cling- 

 ing qualities make it a most desirable plant for staying up ter- 

 races. In the summer the foliage is a rich shade of green, but in 

 fall it assumes the most gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson andorange, 

 BO dazzling as to be seen at a great distance. Price, strong one 

 year old plants from pots, $10.00 per 100 ; young plants from 2 

 inch pots, ready April 15th, |4.00 per 100. 



DOUBLE GOLDEN MARGUERITE, 



(Anthemis Coronaria, fl. pi.) 

 Thousands of this valuable plant are now sold annually in the New 

 York market, being so attractive when in bloom that it sells on 

 sight. The flowers are clear golden yellow, it blooms without 

 cessation the entire season ; in winter as well as in summer it is 

 ever covered with bloom. Each season's experience with this 

 grand plant more than confirms the high opinion formed of it 

 when first sent out. $1.00 per doz. ; $6.00 per 100. 



ASPARAGUS SPRENGERIL 



A desirable species, useful as a pot plant or for baskets; the 

 fronds are frequently four feet long, a rich shade of green, retain- 

 ing their freshness for weeks after being cut. A fine house plant, 

 as it withstands dry atmosphere. §1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 



ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS NANUS. 



One of the handsomest of our foliage plants. The leaves are a 

 bright green, are gracefully arched ; and are as finely woven as 

 the finest silken mesh; their lasting qualities, when cut, are re- 

 markable, retaining their freshness for weeks, hence it ranks as 

 the most valuable plant we have for this purpose, surpassing 

 Maiden Hair Ferns in grace, fineness of texture and richness of 

 color. Strong plants, from 3 inch pots, $8.00 per 100. 



ASPARAGUS TENUISSIMUS. 



Very fine filmy foliage. A handsome climbing plant for the 

 window and a very useful pot plant. $1.00 per doz. ; §6.00 per 100. 



AMARYLLIS. 



Formosissima {Jacohcean Lily). Splendid glowing crimson 

 flowers, very useful for winter or summer blooming, and can be 

 grown in the house in water like a Hyacinth. We cannot speak 

 too highly in praise of this attractive variety, and at the price no 

 one should be without it. The bulbs we offer are extra large 

 Bermuda grown and must give satisfaction. $1.00 per doz., $6.00 

 per 100. 



JflPHNESE PIIIPLE-LE0VED PDTILOK, 



This unique variety is well shown in the illustration below, 

 which represents a plant growing in a 6 inch pot, demonstrating its 

 fitness as a pot plant for window or conservatory. It is a decided 

 improvement upon "Souvenir de Bonn," inasmuch as the varie- 

 gation is entirely different, the contrast between the green and 

 white is sharper, and the habit of the plant is dwarfer. It will be 

 of exceptional value for edging subtropical beds, as the general 

 style of the plant is such that it harmonizes splendidly with Palms, 

 Dracaenas, and especially with Crotons, for it bears full exposure 

 to the sun with splendid results ; it also grows in shade. The 

 stock of this variety is very scarce at present and will be largely 

 in demand. Price, 35 cents each, $3.50 per doz.
