PETER HENDERSON S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



forming a most striking- and graceful plant, resembling nothing else that we know- of in cultiva- 

 tion. Its appearance is such that it will arrest the attention of the most careless observer. The 

 flower spikes, which are borne late in fall, have the form of ostrich plumes, like the other variety, 

 " Eulalia Japonica Var; " like it, too, it is entirely hardy. We have purchased the entire stock 

 of this plant from Mr. Thomas Hogg, who collected it in Japan, and it is now for the first time 

 offered for sale, either here or in Europe. 



Large pot-grown plants, $3.00 each; $30.00 per dozen. Second size, $2.00 each; $21.00 per 

 dozen. Third size, $1.00 each; $12.00 per dozen. 



EULALIA JAPONICA VAR. 



Incorrectly given in some catalogues as " Imperata Japonica," 



It is an entirely new and dis- 



Eucharis Amazcnica, 



tinct ornamental grass, of easy culture, and perfectly 

 hardy. It has long narrow leaves striped white and 

 green, throwing up stalks from four to six feet in 

 height, terminated with a cluster of flower spikes on 

 which the individual flowers are arranged; the flow- 

 ers are surrounded by long silky threads, which, when 

 fully ripe, or when placed in a warm room, expand, 

 giving the whole head a most graceful and beautiful 

 appearance, not unlike that of an ostrich feather when 

 curled. These dry flowers will be valuable as parlor 

 ornaments, as they retain their beauty for a long time. 

 Large plants, price $1.00 each; $9.00 per dozen. 

 Smaller, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen. 



^ EUPHORBIA SANGUBNEA. 



An old but rare plant, now becoming valuable for 

 ribbon lines or massing. It grows from two to four 

 feet in height, forming a rounded bush, of deep choco- 

 late crimson, distinct from nearly all dark-colored 

 "foliage" plants. It is most valuable for massing in 

 colors, when contrasted with white, yellow, or scarlet. 

 Price, $1.00 each; $9.00 per dozen. 



EUCHARES AMAZONICA. 



A lovely greenhouse plant, which may be had in bloom almost the entire season, if a moder- 

 ate supply of plants are had, small plants usually sending up stalks which bear five or 6 large 'pure 

 white star-shaped flowers, four inches across, deliciously fragrant. It wants a warm atmosphere 

 with plenty of moisture. The flowers brought in at the Holidays bring very high prices, fre- 

 quently as high as $50 per 100. (See cut.) Price $1.00 each; $9.00 per dozen.
