PETER HENDERSON & CO.— PLANTS FOR WINTER DECORATION. 



JTc^ Ghrijsanthemltm, "WT^IE hMME." 



This variety was shown at the exhibition held in Philadelphia in the fall of 1888, and we at once bought the entire stock. It: 

 is, perhaps, the best example of the new race of quilled varieties with broad petals, as shown in the cut. The color is a silvery 

 "white at the base of the petals, gradually deepening to rosy pink at the tips, the openings at the ends being deep claret. (See cut.) 

 Price, first size, 50c. each- second size, 25c. each; $2.25 per doz. 



the Mental Iroup of lew Itirgsanftieniums for 1890. 



The group of Chrysanthemums below named was selected by our agent in Japan last season, and flowered by us in the autumn 

 of 1889. We offer them now under the title of THE ORIENTAL GROUP, as they were selected from the finest Eastern 

 collections. Taken as a whole they represent every type and variety of the Japanese section, with some markedly distinct and 

 novel departures in form and color. Notably the one we name Cashmere which is the best type of the new class styled ' ' Cockade' 

 varieties. Many of them will unquestionably become standard sorts, as did the collection from the same source sent out by us two; 

 years ago.
