PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—WHOLESALE TRADE LIST OF PLANTS. 19 
AZALEA INDICA, 
(Fall Importation Ready About Oct. 15th.) 
The Azaleas which we supplied last season were admitted to be the best value for the 
money ever received by the many florists who bought them, and we can promise as good, if not 
better, stock and larger plants this coming season. 
We have again made special arrangements with the largest grower of Azaleas in Belgium, 
and take pleasure in offering for delivery about October 15th. Indian Azaleas, double and 
single, all named varieties, leading market kinds, shapely plants, well headed, at the prices 
quoted below. This is a specially low import offer both as to sizes and prices, and your early 
order is solicited. Azaleas are growing in favor yearly, as the great demand this season proved, 
and the shortage last Spring is sure to cause an increased demand next Spring.

experience with this grand plant more than confirms the high 
opinion formed of it when first sent out. (See cut.) $1.00 per 
doz., $6.00 per 100. 
ABUTILON SAVITZII. 
This unique variety is well shown in the accompanying il- 
lustration which represents a plant growing in a 6-inch pot, 
demonstrating its fitness as a pot plant for window or con- 
servatory. Itis a decided improvement upon *‘ Souvenir de 
Bonn,’ inasmuch as the variegation is entirely different, the 
contrast between the green and white is sharper, and the habit 
of the plant is dwarfer It will be of exceptional value for 
edging subtropical beds, as the general style of the plant is 
such that it harmonizes splendidly with Palms, Dracenas, and 
and especially with Crotons, for it bears full exposure to the 
sun with splendid results ; it also grows in shade, (See cut.) ; 
Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per dozen, $12,00 per 100. NEW JAPANESE MAPLE-LEAVED ABUTILON SAVITZII
