PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE PLANT LIST. 



AMPELOPS1S VEITCHII. 



SometimesI 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 wood-work 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., it 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 and oratige, 

 so dazzling as to be seen at a great distance. We sold over 50,0d0 

 plants of this the past season, a large proportion of which were 

 used on churches and public buildings. Price, $10.00 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. 



HE 



HEW JflPHHESE mflPLE-LEHVED HBUTILOH- 



(SOUVENIR DE BONN.) 



The above illustration was made from a plant in our grounds. 



This is a strong rival to a Japanese maple; in fact, at first glance, 

 it might be mistaken for one. For massing in groups or in long 

 borders for single specimens, either in the garden or greenhouse, for any and 

 all decorative purposes, it cannot be surpassed. It is a most striking decora- 

 tive foliage plant, with beautifully variegated leaves of good size, regularly 

 and evenly marked with white and greeu. Amid these leaves the gracefully 

 drooping oranee-colored flowers are produced in great abundance, forming 

 a clear and brilliant contrast. {See cut.) Price, $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 



A grand contrast to this is STROBILANTHES offered in 

 page 21. 



ACALYPHA MOSA1CA. 



A beautiful variegated foliage bedding plant, much richer in color than the 

 finest Coleus; it can be used in the same way, and is certain to become popular 

 for ornamental and subtropical bedding. SI. 50 per doz.; 88.00 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 remarkable, 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 2-inch pots, S6.00 per 100; from 3-inch pots, 88.00 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.; 86.00 per 100. 



ASPARAGUS SCANDENS DEFLEXUS. 



A very pretty variety with glaucous green foliage of a drooping habit. Very 

 ornamental for a hanging basket in conservatory, when covered with its brilliant 

 red fruit. Strong plants, 81.50 per doz.; 810.00 per 100. 



AMARYLLIS. 



Beautiful flowering bulbs, which should find a place in every garden. They 

 force readily, are admirable for pot culture, and by proper care can be had in 

 bloom during the whole year. 

 Formosissima {Jacobcean Lily). Crimson, blooming early in the summer. 



83.00 per doz.; 812.00 per 100. 

 Hybrids of Vittata. Red and white striped. 85.00 per doz.; 840.00 ^per^lOO. 

 Johnsoni. Very large flower of a rich crimson scarlet color, striped with 

 white. 83.00 per doz.; 820.00 per 100. 



A new semi-double form of Anemone Japonica Alba, which is 

 supposed to be a cross between this beautiful variety and A. 

 Japonica Rosea. In general style and habit it is identical with 

 the white Anemone. It is of the same strong habit of growth, 

 and is even more free-flowering than the original type. The 

 flowers, which are 2J^ to 3 inches across, have several rows of 

 pure white petals, and have the advantage of lasting much longer 

 than the single varieties. We consider this a good acquisition, 

 and cannot recommend it too highly. {See cut.) Price, $1.25 per 

 doz.: $8.00 per 100.
