PETEK HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 17 



NEW DOUBLE POINSETTIA. (Poinsettia Pulcherrima Plenissima.) 

 The single variety of the Poinsettia is known to be one of the most gorgeous of plants-— the 

 bracts, or flower leaves, being often over a foot in diameter and of the most brilliant vermillion 

 color. We grow an area of 3000 square feet of this plant annually, and the sight it presents 

 when in full bloom at the holidays is worth coming miles to see. The kind above offered is the 

 double variety of this beautiful plant, which we now offer, this season, for the first time. 

 Price of the double variety, $5.00 each. 

 The single variety we sell at from 25 cents to $1.00 each, according to size. 



PANDANUS UTILIS (Screw Pine.) 



So called from the arrangement of the leaves on the stem. It a stately plant, producing a 

 fine effect in whatever position placed. Price, 75 cents to $1.50 each. 



NEW FORCING PINK, "Lord Lyons. 7 ' 



Flowers crimson laced with rose color, delicately fringed, of large size — 2 inches in diame- 

 ter — and of rich clove fragrance. This variety is now largely grown, both as a pot plant, and for 

 the cut blooms for the Covent Garden Market of London. It is entirely hardy, and is therefore 

 valuable as a hardy border plant, or for forcing purposes in winter. 



Price, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen. 

 NEW TEA ROSE, "Duchess of Edinburgh." 



This is the Rose of the season; for the first time we have got a bright crimson color, with 

 Tea fragrance. It has now been introduced two years, and that trial of it has produced a demand 

 for it unequalled. It somewhat resembles the well-known Rose ''General Jacquimenot," with 

 the advantages of being monthly, and having the true Tea odor. 



Price, 1st size, $1.00 each; $9.00 per dozen; 2d size, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen.
