PETER HENDERSON & CO-F LOWER SEEDS.

Palava. 



Pansy, Extea Choice. 



Petunia Hybbida. 



PALAVA. 



Per PM. 

 A beautiful Annual, growing to a height of 18 inches, and 

 flowering abundantly. Equally valuable for green-house or 

 garden. 

 Falava Flexuosa. Flowers bright pink ; base of sepals 

 almost black. (See cut.) 5 



PARDANTHUS. 



A hardy herbaceous plant, with lily-like orange-colored flow- 

 ers, spotted with purple. The seed pods resemble a black- 

 berry, and as they do not drop for a long time after the 

 branches have been cut, they are very pretty mixed in with 

 dried grasses for winter bouquets, 



P. Sinensis. (Blackberry Lily.) 10 



PENTSTEMON. 



This beautiful class is in continuous bloom from the time 

 they are planted out in May until frost. In shape the 

 flowers somewhat resemble the Gloxinia, and are shaded 

 and mottled in white, blue, crimson, scarlet and pink. 

 Half-hardy Perennial. 



Pentstemon. Fine mixed, 2 ft 10 



PERILLA. 



Having black purple-colored foliage, this ornamental plant 

 makes a fine contrast with any of the light or silver-leaved 

 plants usually used for lawn groups or ribbon-line garden- 

 ing. Half-hardy Annual. 



Perilla Nankinensis. Ua ft 5 



Laciniatis. Cut-leaved variety. (Seecut..) 10 



PANSY (Viola Tricolor Maxima). 



New Pancy. It is now several years since we first offered 

 this strain of Pansy; and we have had hundreds of let- 

 ters testifying to its beauty and variety. To those who 

 have not purchased we would say that the flowers 

 present almost every conceivable shade of color, with 

 markings exceedingly odd and varied. We give below 

 a short description of each number; occasionally they 

 may vary a little, but as a rule, they will be found to 

 come true to description. 



Rich golden yellow, with large maroon eye. 



An intense blue, with small white eye. 



Of a deep orange shade, with dark centre. 



A very striking variety; a white ground beautifully 

 and regularly marked with light purple, sometimes 

 bordering on pink; yellow eye. 



A rich light brown variety, with black centre, and 

 clearly defined light yellow eye. 

 6. Upper petals porcelain-blue, fringed with white; the 

 lower curiously mottled and marbled with pink, choco- 

 late and yellow. Exceedingly beautiful. 



Light canary yellow, with lavender centre. 



A rich velvety black, with very small yellow eye. 



Flower is of a deep chocolate shade, oddly streaked 

 toward the centre with veins of white, yellow and 

 black. 

 10. The lower portion of the blooms of this are bright 

 yellow, splashed with crimson, while the upper petals 

 are of a bright purple hue. 

 No. 11. Is a light lavender-blue Pansy, with very small eye. 

 One of the prettiest of the collection.

Besides the Fancy Pansy alluded to above, we offer the fol- 

 lowing classes, which have been saved from the best and 

 most distinct varieties: 

 Pansy, .Henderson's Premier. (See Novelties.) 50 



Trimardeau. (See Novelties.) 50 



Striped Pancy 15 



Odier, or Five Blotched. A beautiful strain, perfect 



in size and form of flower, as well as in beauty and 



variety of color 50 



Emperor William. Ultramarine blue, with well de- 

 fined eye of purple violet 15 



Snow Queen. Pure satiny white, fine ■ 25 



White Treasure. Fine pure white 15 



• Faust, or King 1 of the Blacks. Flowers intensely 



black 15 



Mahogany Colored 15 



Azure Blue 15 



Ziord Beaconsfield. Violet shading to white on upper 



petals 15 



Gold Margined 15 



■ Yellow. Pure golden 15 



Good Mixed 10 



English. Very fine mixed 25 



Extra Choice. From a superb collection. (See cut.). . 50 



PETUNIAS. 



For outdoor decoration in summer scarcely any plant equals 

 this. 



Petunia Hyhrida. Finest striped and blotched varieties 



mixed. (Seecut.) 25 



Dwarf Inimitable. It forms a compact plant 



from 5 to 8 inches high by as much in diameter, 

 and thickly covered with cherry-red flowers, each 

 of which is marked by a white star. This Petunia 

 will be very effective for massing, and admirably 

 adapted for pot culture 15 



Dwarf Double Inimitable. This is a double 



form of that quite recent species, Nana Compacta, 

 and produces double flowers of the same shades of 

 color that characterized the single sx^ecies . . 75 



Countess of Ellsmere. Pink, white throat 10 



Pure White 10 



Fine Mixed 10 



NEW FANCY HYBRID. 



An entirely distinct strain from the ordinary Petunia. The 

 flowers are of immense size, and exquisite colors, shades 

 and markings. The double and single Fimbriata sorts 

 have beautifully fringed petals. The double and single 

 Marginata sorts are bordered with green on each petal, mak- 

 ing them very attractive. 



It is, perhaps, not generally understood that the seeds of 

 double Petunias are only obtained by artificially fecundat- 

 ing single blooms with the pollen from the double, making 

 the seed necessarily high priced, and the progeny cannot 

 be expected to all come double. The finest double Petunias 

 are always grown from seeds; when propagated by cuttings 

 they degenerate. 



We received the new Pansy last year, and had the finest ever grown in this section. 



Little Falls, N. Y., February 13th, 1885.
