34 PETER HENDERSON & CO.— FLOWER SEED NOVELTIES. 



ANTIRRHINUM MAJUS NANUM PICT- 

 URATUM. 



A new and distinct race of Snapdragons, of great beauty 

 and variety of color. The raiser says that at a short dis- 

 tance they cannot be distinguished from, and are unsur- 

 passed by the showiest varieties of Pentstemon. We offer 

 seed in mixed colors. 



50 cts. per packet. 



ESCHSCHOLTZIA CALIFORNICA ALBA 

 FLORE PLENO. 



From the double golden yellow Escbscholtzia, originat- 

 ing in England two years ago, has sprang the double white 

 variety, that we now offer. The seed saved from the plants 

 grown in 1879, has produced plants, 75 per cent, of which 

 have borne beautiful double white flowers. 

 50 cts. per packet. 



HELIANTHUS NANUS FOLIIS VARIE- 



GATIS. 

 A variegated-leaved Sunflower. The leaves are spotted 

 and striped with yellow, very much in the same way as 

 the well-known Abutilon Thompsonii. For planting singly 

 or in groups this striking variety will be found most effec- 

 tive. 50 ets. per packet. 



NEW WHITE PANSY, "Snow Queen." 



It is claimed that this new sort is quite different from the 

 ordinary run of White Pansy. The flowers are of a deli- 

 cate satiny white, with a slight tinge of yellow towards the 

 centre. As far as it has been tested, it comes perfectly 

 true from seed. 



25 cts. per packet. 



PRIMULA FIMBRIATA CRISTATA 



NANA. 

 A very interesting and distinct race, of French origin. 

 The plant is of dwarf and dense habit, with small foliage . 

 The flowers are snow-white, with a pale yellow eye, are 

 dentated, and show a tendency to become double. This 

 Primula comes nearly always true from seed. 

 75 cts. per packet. 



PYRETHRUM AUREUM SELAG- 

 INOIDES. 



All of the Pyrethrums are particularly valuable in this 

 country for bedding out purposes, and this new form is 

 said to be quite distinct and novel. The flat golden foliage 

 resembles two fronds of some species of Ferns, overlaying 

 each other, and this peculiarity with its dwarf and com- 

 pact habit, gives it added interest and beauty. 

 50 cts. per packet. 



RESEDA ODORATA AMELIORATA, 



"Golden Queen." 



A new Mignonette ; it produces golden yellow flower 

 spikes, as freely and as fragrant as any of the older sorts. 

 The foliage bright green, contrasts finely with the flower- 

 stalks. 50 cts. per packet. 



A FEW LEADING FLOWER SEEDS.

 tomers who need larger quantities of Flower Seeds than
