PETEE HENDERSON" & CO., NEW YORK:.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE.— PLANTS. 



HZHLEK INDICA. 



FOR EASTER FORCING. 



We offer a very fine lot of Azaleas, comprising the most distinct and best vari- 

 eties in cultivation, embracing all shades of crimson, white, pink and rose color. 

 Thej- are shapely specimens, well "headed" double and single flowered and will 

 make splendid plants for Easter decoration. It is almost impossible to ship Azaleas 

 when in bloom and have them arrive in good condition, hence the necessity of pro- 

 curing them in advance before the buds open. Order early. 



These Azaleas have been grown especially for us by the largest grower in Bel- 

 gium, and the greatest care has been taken toensure plants well set with buds, care- 

 fully selected varieties that will be certain to please, and compact, shapely plants. 

 By special arrangement we are enabled to offer this grand stock at the following 

 very low rates. Note the sizes. See list of varieties below.

 are indigo blue, fully 2 inches across, and 

 cover the plant when in bloom. Invaluable 

 for summer beds of flowers or for pot plants 

 in the winter for greenhouse and window 

 garden. (See cut). Price, 15c. each, $1.50 

 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.

 long flower-stalks and lasting a long time in bloom. There is no finer plant than 

 this for outdoor decoration, planted in large pots or tubs on the lawn terrace or 

 piazza. It does well in the house or greenhouse in winter. Price, $1.50 per doz.; 

 $10.00 per 100. 



BOUGAINVILLEA SANDERIANA 



Chinese Climbing Paper Plant. 

 The name of " Chinese Paper Plant" has been given to the Bougain- 

 villea locally, possibly because of the color and lasting quality of the 

 flowers (or bracts). The color is a soft rosy crimson, and this variety 

 blooms very freely in pots, making very handsome plants in a short 

 time. It climbs rapidly and should be trained to stakes to make a good 

 specimen. Plants in bloom have sold at auction in New York at from 

 $5.00 to $10.00 each. Price, $1.50 per doz. ; $12.00 per 100. 



CALLA LILIES. 



LITTLE GEM Calla Lily. This variety rarely exceeds 12 inches in 

 height. The flowers are correspondingly smaller than the tall-grow- 

 ing sort, and are useful for loose bunches and bouquets of flowers 

 It is far superior as a house plant than the tall-growing variety. 

 Price, young plants, $4.00 per too. Blooming plants, $20.00 per 100. 



White Calla Lily. Pure white, large, splendid flower. Price, 30c 

 each; $3 00 per doz.; smaller plants, $1 00 per doz.; S8 00 per 100

 black flowers with coal-black spathe. The fpliage is stately. Price, 

 $2.00 per dozen.
