PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



DIONEA MUSCIPULA (Venus' Fly Trap.) 



A very interesting plant, a native of most of the Southern States. It takes its name of "Fly- 

 trap " from a curious formation of the leaves, which are very sensitive. As soon as an insect 

 touches them they close, and remain so as long as the insect continues to struggle. It is easily 

 cultivated in a warm, moist atmosphere, such as a Wardian case, or Jardiniere. 



Price, 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen. 



DIANTHUS QUERTERI (German Pink.) 



This beautiful pink we imported some six years ago, but it is yet very scarce. Few plants we 

 cultivate possess so many points of excellence; it grows to the height of a foot, flowers rich, pur- 

 plish crimson, two inches in diameter, double and well formed ; it blooms without intermission 

 from June to January, and is an exceedingly useful plant for bouquets; clove-scented. (See cut.) 



Price, 30 cents each; $3.00 per dozen.
