PETER HENDERSON'S CATALOGUE. 



NEW 



DOUBLE WHITE VIOLET, 



"Swanley White." 



In this we have that great desideratum, a 

 pure white Violet, which is never tinged with 

 pink or purple under any conditions. It will be 

 equally valuable as the purple variety ' ' Mari& 

 Louise " (from which it is a sport) for forcing, 

 as its flowers are the same size and are as freely 

 produced as in that variety. Exquisitely fra- 

 grant. The Swanley White will be a novel 

 feature in bridal bouquets and other fine floral 

 work. The flowers sold last winter at four times 

 the price of the blue. 



Stock Plants, 50 cts. each; $1.50 per dozen. 



Small Plants, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per dozen. 



GOLDEN THYME (Improved). 

 (Thymus ElegantissimusVar.) 



A greatly improved variety of the Golden 

 Thyme. The yellow variegation is a bright golden 

 color, which contrasts finely with the green. 

 Very useful for baskets or ribbon line planting. 



20 cts. each; $2.00 per dozen. 



TXPE OF NEW MAililOIH VEIIBENA. 



NEW VERBENAS, 

 MAMMOTH STRAIN. 



In 1884 it was our good fortune to raise the seedling Verbena 

 "America," which in size, substance and brilliancy of coloring 

 far surpassed any variety hitherto in cultivation. From it we 

 obtained seed enough to raise a large number of plants, from 

 which we selected the list below, which embraces nearly every 

 shade of color known in the Verbena. Every flower in the set 

 (of 11) when well grown measures fully 9 in. in circumference, 

 the single florets being large enough to cover a 25-cent piece. 

 This great improvement in size is certain to increase the popu- 

 larity of the Verbena as a summer bedding plant. This set of 

 li from the New Mammoth strain is far in advance of anything 

 that has ever been introduced.

DOUBLE TBOPEOLT7M. 



NEW DOUBLE TROPEOLUM. 

 (Bicolor Fl. PI.) 



The deserved popularity of the double orange colored variety, 

 "Herman Grasshoff," will be more than equaled by this new 

 and splendid acquisition. It produces in wonderful profusion 

 its rich, orange colored flowers, which are distinctly striped 

 with scarlet. {See cut.) 



20 cts. each; $2.00 per dozen. 



Your New Mammoth Verbenas are ahead of anything ever before seen, 

 market, they would have been a perfect " bonanza."
