PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



Begonia (Tuberous Rooted.) 



BEGONIA PALMATA. 



An ornamental leaved variety, peculiar for its palm-shaped leaves. 

 Price, 50 cents each ; $4. 50 per dozen. 



BEGONIA (Tuberous Rooted). 



This new section of Begonias (the Tuberous Rooted), form one 

 of the most important and interesting of summer-flowering plants 

 for the greenhouse or conservatory. The growth is strong and 

 rapid, and the beauty and variety of the flowers is wonderful. 

 They require the same treatment as the fancy-leaved Caladiums, 

 Gloxinias, and such plants of kindred nature ; that is the tubers are 

 dried off in winter, and started again in spring. {See cut. ) 

 Rosseflora.,. Beautiful, large rose-colored flowers. 

 Veitchii. Large brilliant scarlet. 



Hybrida. Mixed sorts without names, embracing a grand variety. 

 Price, 75 cents each; $7.50 per dozen. 



BLETRA TANKERVILL/E. 



A terrestrial orchid of easy culture, the flowers of which, as in 

 all the orchid family, are of great beauty. They are borne in spikes, on stems about 18 inches 

 high ; the color of the flowers is white, marked with brown, but a mere description can hardly 

 convey any adequate idea of their beauty. 



Price, $1.00 each; $9.00 per dozen. 



BRAHEA FBLIMENTOSA 



(Pritchardia Filimentosa.) 



A new Palm, from Lower California, which, 

 in sheltered situations, or where "Chamaerops 

 Excelsa" stands, would probably prove hardy. 

 It is a Fan Palm, the novelty as well as the 

 beauty of which consists in the thread-like Ali- 

 ments which hang from the edges of the leaves. 

 These lengthen as the leaves grow, and droop 

 together in confusion, rendering it very unique 

 and distinct in character. 



Price, $2.00 each. 



BIGNONIA TWEEDIANA. 



A variety from Brazil, flowers golden yellow, 

 which are produced in abundance during July. 

 It is an excellent climber for the Southern States, 

 or for greenhouse culture north. 



Price 50 cents each; $4,50 per dozen. 



CAMPSIDIUM FIMCIFOLIUM. 



An elegant climber, of rapid growth, for 

 greenhouse culture, the leaves of which much 

 resemble the fronds of a fern, in miniature, giv- 

 ing it an unusually graceful appearance. It 

 may be grown as a pot plant, or trained to the 

 rafters. Very desirable. 



Price 60 cents each; $6.00 per dozen. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM (Model of Perfection.) 



A Pompone Chrysanthemum, very dwarf, with small globular flowers. The centre of the 

 flower is delicate pink, deepening towards the edge into rich lilac, each petal being regularly 

 margined with white. It is perfectly distinct from any variety that we have yet offered, and one 

 of the prettiest and most attractive. Very suitable for cut flowers. The finest variety in our 

 collection of 100 sorts. (See cut.) 



Price, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen. 



NEW CARNATION "VESUVIUS." 



Among the new sorts of Carnations lately offered 1 here have been few possessing any marked 

 differences from those heretofore sent out. This new sort seems to be very decided in character, 

 the size of the flowers being unusual, over three inches in diameter, retaining their form and 

 substance, not bursting, as such large flowers are apt to do; color rich dark scarlet; very 

 fragrant. 



Price, $1.00 each.
