PETER HENDERSON & CO.— PLANTS FOR WINTER DECORATION. 



39 



ABUTILON "Eclipse." 



One of the newer varieties, which partakes ofthe trailing quali- 

 ties of A. Megapotamicum, but has much larger flowers and 

 leaves ; the latter being beautifully mottled yellow and green. 

 It is very useful as a vase and basket plant, and is largely used in 

 some sections for bedding purposes. Price, 30c. each ; $3.00 

 per doz. 



We can also supply 12 other varieties of Abutilons at 15c. each; 

 $1.50 per doz. 



BEGOMAS.-In Variety 



The flowers are beautiful, drooping in graceful panicles of 

 various colors. They are largely used in the construction of 

 bouquets, etc. Price, 15c. each ; $1.50 per doz. 



NEW DWARF BOVVARDIA. 



"White Bouquet. An entirely novel and distinct variety. 

 It is a sport from B. Vreelandii, having the same finely formed 

 pure white truss of that variety. It is distinct in being earlier 

 in flowering, but above all, its great merit lies in its exceed- 

 ingly dwarf and rounded habit, forming a bush which resembles 

 a white bouquet, the flowers nestling in the leaves, so that each 

 individual truss forms a miniature white bouquet. Price, 30c. 

 each; $3.00 per doz. 



WHITE CALLA LILY. 



This old favorite is so generally known that a description is 

 unnecessary. 30c. and 50c. each ; $3.00 and $4,50 per doz. 

 CHINESE AZALEAS^ 



For House Culture. 



Few plants reward the cultivator more liberally with wealth of 



bloom than these, and no collection of plants, however small, 



should be without them. The engraving was made from plant 6 



feet high and 4 feet wide. Exhibited at our store last year, it 



was the wonder and admiration of thousands, yet it received only 



ordinary attention, and any amateur with a little care can do as 



Chinese AZALEA. we ll. We offer a grand collection — the best we could select in 



Europe — comprising the most distinct and best varieties in cultivation, embracing all shades 



of crimson, white, pink, orange and rose color. The plants are all shapely specimens. 



(See cut.)

3d " .40 " " 15 " " 5.00. 



AZALEA INDICA ALBA. 



This is a pure white variety, equally valuable for in-door and out-door culture. It is hardy 

 in the vicinity of New York, many plants of it having survived the winters in Greenwood 

 Cemetery for many years, forming bushes over twenty feet in circumference, and are 

 among the most attractive features of that beautiful place. 



Price, 1st size, 50c. each ; $4.50 per doz. 

 " 2d " 25c. " 2.25 " 

 CROTONS. 



No collection is complete without some of these beautiful plants whose wonderful varie- 

 gation it is impossible to describe. The plant shown in the engraving is C. Aureum 

 Maculatum, or " Bird's Egg " Croton. This and Croton Camptophyllum, are among the 

 most useful of their class. In addition to the two above mentioned we can supply ten 

 other varieties, all entirely distinct. Price, 50c. each; set of 12 sorts 

 for $5.00. 



ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS NANUS. 

 One of the handsomest of our foliage plants. The leaves are a 

 bright green, are gracefully arched, and are as finely woven as the finest 

 silken mesh, their lasting qualities when cut are remarkable, retaining 

 their freshness for weeks, hence it ranks as the most valuable plant we 

 have for this purpose, surpassing Maiden Hair Ferns in grace, fineness 

 of texture and richness of color. Price, Strong Plants, $1.00 each. 



DOUBLE GOLDEN MARGUERITE. 



Anthemis Coronaria, fl. pi. 

 The engraving in our large Spring Catalogue gives a fair idea of this 

 most beautiful plant. Nothing could be moie showy, either as a pot 

 plant or bedded out. This plant might well be called the " Shower 

 of Gold," as it is a perfect mass of rich golden yellow flowers, the 

 whole year round. Well grown plants having as many as 150 flowers 

 on them at once. Fine for winter flowering. Price, 20c. each ; $2.00 

 per doz.
