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



AZALEA IND1CA. 



Bougainviilea Sanderiana. 



"We have grown this new 

 Bougainviilea in a greenhouse, 

 where it has continued flowering 

 for seven months, small and large 

 plants alike being covered with 

 blossoms. Even plants in thumb- 

 pots were laden with bloom. The 

 house in which our plants have 

 been cultivated has been a sheet 

 of flowers from May until Decem- 

 ber, and at the time of writing 

 (December 30th), the plants are 

 carrying thousands of their bril- 

 liant blossoms. Many excellent 

 judges state that this will be a 

 favorite market plant, as it pro- 

 duces as freely as a Fuchsia its 

 dazzling rosy crimson flowers, last- 

 ing so long in perfection, and 

 produced in smallest pots, under 

 all conditions, in amazing pro- 

 fusion. "We can with all confi- 

 dence recommend this grand 

 plant as a great acquisition." — 

 (Introducer' s description?) Price, 

 $3.00 per doz., $20.00 per 100. 



AZALEA INDICA. 



For Easter Forcing. 



We offer a very fine lot of Azaleas, comprising the most distinct and best 

 varieties in cultivation, embracing all shades of crimson, white, pink and rose color. 

 They are shapely specimens, well " headed " double and single flowered and will make 

 splendid plants for Easter decoration. It is almost impossible to ship Azaleas when 

 in bloom and have them arrive in good condition, hence the necessity of procuring 

 them in advance before the buds open. Order Early. 



These Azaleas have been grown especially for us by the largest grower in Belgium, 

 and the greatest care has been taken to ensure plants well set with buds, carefully 

 selected varieties that will be certain to please, and compact, shapely plants. By 

 special arrangement we are enabled to offer this grand stock at the following very low 

 rates. Note the sizes.

SINGLE WHITE 

 aTJBEBOUS BEGONIA. 



(Norfolk Island Pine.) 



Various names have been sug- 

 gested for this grand plant to 

 properly convey to the mind the 

 appearance of it. Some have 

 called it the ' ' Christmas Tree 

 Palm " from its resemblance to a 

 Christmas tree ; others have called 

 it the " Star Palm," because the 

 leaves are arranged to form a 

 perfect star, but no descriptive 

 name can give any adequate idea 

 of its beauty. It has deep green, 

 feathery foliage, arranged in 

 whorls, rising one above the other 

 at regular distances ; its symmetry 

 of form, grace and beauty of 

 foliage are unequaled in the vege- 

 table kingdom. It is easily grown 

 in the house and is highly orna- 

 mental. (See cut.) Extra fine 

 plants, 20 to 24 inches high, 4 to 

 5 tiers, $2.50 each ; 15 to 18 inches 

 high, $1.50 each ; 12 to 15 inches 

 high, $1.00 each. 



TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. 



All Selected Bulbs. 



These are now the most popular plants for beds of summer flowers, or as pot 

 plants for the greenhouse, conservatory or sitting-room. Our bulbs are all sound, 

 well matured and of good size. For a time it was generally supposed that these 

 could not be grown in the open air with success, but extensive plantings of them in 

 various sections of the country have demonstrated their adaptability for this 

 purpose. Nothing can exceed the brilliancy of their colors, the delicacy of their 

 tints, the richness of their waxy flowers, the gorgeousness of their effect in masses, 

 or their graceful appearance in beds or borders. From the time the first blossom 

 appears until all growth is stopped by frost, they are never out of bloom. (See cut.)
