PETEK HENDERSON & CO., NEW YOKE.— WHOLESALE PLANT LIST. 



Decorative Plants, Palms, Pandanus, Etc. 



There are no plants more attractive than those offered on this page, and none which yield more 

 pleasure to the cultivator for the amount of care bestowed. Our Palms are grown specially for house 

 culture, and are particularly hardy and thrifty, because grown in a comparatively low temperature. 

 As a basis for selecting and guide as to what may be expected, we mention the sizes and number of 

 leaves, according to prices, but these are approximate only; plants are constantly developing, and a 



shorter one often appears better than a taller one; in such cases we will use our judgment 



in selecting. 



KENTLA BELMOBEANA. 



KENTIAS. 



These are sometimes called the 

 " Curly Palm," and are recognized 

 as among the best for all purposes, 

 being capable of standing more ill- 

 usage perhaps than any other. The 

 leaves have a tendency to curl as 

 the plant grows older, hence its 

 popular title of " Curly Palm." 

 Our plants are of stout, stocky 

 growth, and are sure to give satis- 

 faction. 



Price, specimen plants, 3 to 4 ft. 

 high, $3.50 each; 2 to 3 ft. high, 5 to 

 6 leaves, $2.00 each. 



DRAC/ENA INDIVISA. 



Of all the plants in use for cen- 

 ters of vases, baskets, or for beds in the 

 open ground, nothing is so valuable as this. 

 From its graceful, drooping habit it is 

 sometimes called the " Fountain Plant." 



Price, 6 in. pots, good centers, $4.00 per 

 doz., $30 00 per 100.; 3 in. pots, $1.00 per 

 doz., $8.00 per 100. 



DRAC/ENA FRAGRANS. 



One of the finest of our ornamental- 

 leaved plants; deep green, broad, grace 

 fully drooping leaves. Our stock of this is 

 grand and the price is low. 



Price, plants 15 to 18 inches high, $1.00 

 each, $9.00 per doz.; 10 to 15 inches high, 

 60c. each, $6.00 per doz. 



DRAC/ENA TERMINALS. 



Bronze red foliage, variegated with crim- 

 son and pink. 



Price, plants from 5 in. pots, 40c. each, 

 $4.00 per doz.; 4 in. pots, 30c. each, $3.00 

 per doz. • 



ARECA LUTESCENS. 



This majestic Palm is without a peer for 

 strength and elegance combined. Its dark 

 glossy green leaves are gracefully curved on 

 slender stems and the entire foliage is grace- 

 fully disposed. The trunk and stems are a 

 golden yellow, irregularly spotted with 

 bronzy green, giving it a peculiar charm. 



Price, specimen plants, 3 to 3J ft. high, 

 $4.00 each; 2 ft., 9 to 12 leaves, $2.00. Plants 

 from 4 in. pots, $20.00 per 100; 3 in. pots, $8.00 

 per 100; 2 in. pots, $5.00 per 100. 



PANDANUS VEITCHII. 



This is a grand decorative plant. Its beau- 

 tiful form, with vivid green and creamy 

 white variegation, added to its vigorous 

 growth, makes it indispensable in every 

 collection. Price, $2 00 each. 



PANDANUS UTILIS. 



For majesty of form and gracefully ar- 

 ranged foliage this is without a peer. As an 

 ornament for the window its glossy dark 

 green serrated foliage renders it unusually 

 attractive, while as a vase plant or single 

 specimen in greenhouse or conservatory it 

 cannot be surpassed. 



Price, fine plants, from 4 in. pots, $25.C0 

 per 100; 5 in. pots, $40.00 per 100. 



LATANIA B0RB0NICA. 



This is the typical Palm, and is more 

 largely used than any other. Its stroug 

 healthy habit commends it to all, and gives 

 it a fitness for window and room culture 

 not possessed in the same degree perhaps by 

 any other. (See cut). Price, 2 ft., 5 to 7 leaves, 

 $3.00 each; 20 to 24 in., 4 to5 leaves, $1.25 each; 



from 3 in. pots, $8.00 per 100; 2 in. 



pots, $5.00 per 100. 



RUBBER PLANTS. 



We have a splendid stock of this 

 useful and ornamental plant, 

 which will flourish under the most 

 adverse conditions. 



Price, 12 to 15 in. high, $5.00 per 

 doz.; 20 to 24 in. high, $1 25 each, 

 $12.00 per doz. 



OTAHEITE ORANGE, 



(See page 19.) 



ARAUCARIA EXCELSA. 



(See page 9 ) 

 Price, $1.00, $1.50. and $2.50 each. 



PHRYNIUM VARIEGATUM. 



A plant which we believe is des- 

 tined to take a prominent place 

 dbac^na indivisa. among decorative plants for the 



house, and in subtropical bedding 

 in the open ground in summer. Its growth is not unlike a Canna, strong and free, and the 

 foliage is beautifully marked creamy while on a dark green ground ; the white and 

 green blend in some portions of the leaf, and the result is shades of sea green, moss green, 

 etc., although the prevailing colors are 

 white and dark green. It is of the easiest 

 culture, will grow and make fine plants 

 in the house, and lasts well under ordi- 

 nary conditions. 



Price, 4 in. pots, $3.00 per drz ; $20 00 

 per 100. 



DRAC/ENA LINDENII. 



One of the finest of the species. Broad 

 strong leaves, gracefully recurved, heavily 

 banded with creamy white and yellow on 

 deep green ground. Price, strong plants, 

 from 6 in. pots, $2.00 each. 



PHENIX RECLINATA. 



A fine, large-growing Palm of easy 

 growth, very sturdy and graceful. It will 

 stand much neglect without injury, fine 

 for vases. Price, 30 to 36 inches high, 7 to 

 9 leaves, $2.00 each. latania boebomca
