PETER HENDERSON S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



CALADIUMS-ln Variety. 



We this year offer a superb collection of 

 Caladiums. To attempt descriptions of the 

 wonderful markings of the leaves of this 

 beautiful tribe, would be only confusing. 

 Suffice it to say that they assume almost every 

 imaginable color in their variegation of spot- 

 ting, veining, and marbling of the leaves; 

 the cut represents Argyrites, a beautiful 

 white spotted variety, one of the smallest 

 growing kinds; many of the other sorts are 

 finer than this. In partial shade in moist 

 soil, most of the varieties do well planted out 

 in summer, but their great value is for exhi- 

 bition plants, for fairs, in summer and fall, 

 when pot grown. 



Price, 18 distinct sorts, 50 cents each; $4.50 

 per dozen. Set of 18 sorts, $6.00. 



Price, 18 distinct sorts, newer and scarcer 

 varieties, 75 cents each; $7.50 per dozen. 

 Set of 18 sorts, $9.00. 



CALCEOLARIAS, SHRUBBY. 



Shrubby Calceolarias are comparatively scarce; their bright and novel shades of color give 

 interesting variety to the flower-garden during the summer month?. 



Aurea, golden yellow. Brown Prince, dark crimson. 



Price, 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



CALCEOLARIAS, HERBACEOUS 



Hybrida Superba, an exceeding fine strain, spotted and 

 marbled in all shades of yellow, maroon, rose, white 

 and crimson. Completely covered in spring with 

 masses of pocket-like flowers. 



Price, 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



CAftNA 5NDSCA. (Newer Sorts.) 



Plants used largely in sub-tropical gardening for the 

 grand effect which their rich and varied colored leaves 

 produce. Of late years however there has been made 

 decided improvements in the coloring and size of the flow- 

 ers, and that is now one of their prominent features. We 

 have added to our collection from time to time, and now 

 offer 12 of the best and most distinct sorts, (See cut.) 

 Price, 50 cents each; $4.50 per dozen.

 makes them particularly desirable.
