PETER HENDERSON & CO.— PLANTS FOR WINTER DECORATION. 



Palms, Pandanus, Dracaenas, &c, 



LATANIA BORBONICA 



KENTIA 

 F08TERIANA. 



The Kentias are among 

 the best of the Palm spscies 

 for general cultivation, being 

 almost impregnable against 

 diseases. The variety shown 

 in the engraving is one of the 

 best of its class, graceful 

 habit, bright green foliage, 

 gracefully disposed : as a de- 

 corative plant for the window, 

 dinner table, or conservatory 

 it scarcely has an equal. (See 

 cut.) 



Trice, specimen plants, 3 

 feet high, $5.00 each; strong 

 plants, 2 feet high, S3. 00 each ; 

 strong plants, 18 in. high, 

 $1.50 each. 



KENTIA BELMOREANA. 



This is sometimes called the ' Curly Palm,"' and like the variety shown 

 above, is recognized as among the best for all purposes, being capable 

 of standing more ill usage perhaps than any other. The leaves have a 

 tendency to curl, as the plants grow older, hence its popular title of 

 "Curly Palm." 



Price. Specimen Plants, 3 ft. high S5.00 each. 



Strong " 2 " " 300 " 



" 18 in. •' 1.50 " 



CURCULIGO RECURVATA VARIEGATA. 



A beautiful addition to our list of ornamental foliage plants. The leaves are solid 

 and spring from slender stems gradually widening to the centre and then decreasing to 

 a point like a feather. They are gracefully recurved, ribbed their entire length, striped 

 white and green, and are so delicately balanced on the stems that the slightest current 

 of air will set them in constant motion. 



Price, 1st size. ^3.00 each; 2d size, $1.50 each; 3d size. 75c. each. 

 We can also supply the plain green variety, at 50c. $1.00 and $2.00 each. 



LATANIA BORBONICA. 



This is the typical Palm, and is more largely used than any other. 

 Its strong, healthy habit commends it to all, and gives it a fitness for 

 window and room culture not possessed in the same degree perhaps 

 by any other. (See cut.) 



Price — 1st size, 2 to 3 feet high $5.00 each. 



2d " ij to 2 " " 3.00 '• 



3d " 1 to ii " " 1. 00 " 



4th " small plants, 30 " 



ARECA VERSCHAFFELTII. 



This is one of the most attractive sorts in our list. The foliage is 

 strong and gracefully arched, the leaflets alternating on either side of 

 the stem, the mid rib in each being a creamy white, while the steams are 

 a deep golden yellow, which adds a peculiar charm 10 it. Its strength 

 renders it less liable to damage than almost any other. (See cut.) 



Price, Plants 2 to l\ ft. high $2. 50 each. 



ARECA LUTESCENS. 



This majestic Palm is without a peer for strength and elegance com- 

 bined. Its dark glossy green leaves are gracefully curved on slender 

 stems, and the entire foliage is gracefully disposed. The trunk and stems 

 are a golden yellow irregularly spotted with bronzy green, giving it a 

 peculiar charm. 



Price, Specimen Plants $5.00 each. 



" Strong " 2-J ft 2.50 " 



" " " i| " 1. 00 " 



COCOS WEDDELIANA. 



This beautiful Palm is unquestionably the most elegant and graceful 

 in cultivation. The finely cut leaves are recurved with exquisite grace 

 and are so airily poised, that 

 the slightest breeze imparts 

 a wavy motion, revealing 

 new beauties at every turn, 

 and bringing into view the 

 pleasing shade of pea-green 

 of the underside of the foli- 

 age, which makes such a 

 pleasing contrast with the 

 dark lustrous green of the 

 upper side, jt is admirably 

 adapted for the centtes of 

 jardinieres and fern dishes, 

 as it retains its freshness for 

 a long time, while for dinner 

 table decoration it is unex- 

 celled, and should be in 

 every collection. 



Price, $1.00 each.
