PETER HENDERSONS NEW WHOLESALE TRADE LIST. 



\ 



NEW COLEUS, "Golden Bedder." 



This great acquisition gives us at last a pure yollow 

 Coleus that will not burn out or fail under ordinarily fav- 

 orable conditions. Tried side by side with Verihaffelti, 

 last summer, it stood as well as that variety, while Oriole 

 and other yellow kinds were almost burut up. It is 

 short-jointed and of compact style of growth, and requires 

 but little '• pinching " back to keep in shape in ribbon 

 lines. When the great value of this variety becomes 

 known, the annual demand for it will be equal to that for 

 Vershaffelti. 



$1 50 per doz. ; $10 00 per 100. 



NEW COLEUS, "Progress." 



One of the most beautiful of Coleus for pot culture, but 

 inclined to run to dull colors out of doors. Speckled and 

 streaked crimson, yellow, and bronze. 

 $1 50 per dozen. 



SET NEW COLEUS.

 February 1.) $3 per dozen. 



NEW SINGLE DAHLIA, White Queen. 



Pure white, lily-like flowers, with yellow disc. The 

 great value of this acquisition will be better understood

 and almost as good in form and substance. Flowering 

 fully through the summer and fall months, until cut 

 down by the frost. 



30 cents each ; $3 00 per dozen. 



SET NEW SINGLE DAHLIAS.

 exceedingly fashionable, owing to the value attached to 

 the cut blooms, their airy butterfly-like forms giving the 

 flower a grace never attained by the finest double sorts.

 all having a bright yellow centre surrounded with petals 

 running through all the shades of scarlet, crimson, roses 

 yellow, orange, white, lilac, carmine, etc.

 of Chrysanthemums all over the country, and next fall
