PETER HENDERSON'S CATALOGUE. 



FERNS. 



These beautiful plants are now very gen- 

 erally cultivated; their great diversity and

 valued as plants for Wardian cases, ferneries 

 and rock work, where there is moisture and shade.

An older variety than the Eulali i Japonica 

 Zebrina. Leaves striped white and green, longi- 

 tudinally. Next to the Zebrina, the most 

 ornamental of all hardy classes. The flower 

 spikes of both are valuable for parlor orna- 

 ments: will keep for years.

ECLALIA ZEBRINA OR ZEBRA GRASS. 



EULALIA JAPONICA ZEBRINA. 



Unlike all other variegated plants, this has its striping or 

 marking across the leaf, instead of longitudinally. It grows 

 from 5 to 7 feet in height, forming a most striking and graceful 

 plant, resembling nothing else that we know of in cultivation. 

 The expanded flower spike resembles the ostrich plume, and 

 when dried will last for years. Plant entirely hardy. Whether 

 used as a single plant or for groups on lawns it has no equal. 

 {See cut.) 



We were the first to put this splendid plant into commerce, 

 paying $600 for a few plants.

NEW FEVERFEW, "LITTLE GEM." 



NEW DWARF FEVERFEW, 

 "Little Gem." 



The great value of the old Dwarf Feverfew for cut flowers 

 during the summer, fall and winter, is well known to florists 

 and others. This variety, which we sent out last year, surpasses 

 it in every way. It is very dwarf, attaining a height only of from 

 twelve to eighteen inches. The flowers are larger, of more per- 

 fect form, and of the purest white 



20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. 



GLOXINIAS. 



These are among the handsomest of our summer-blooming 

 house plants, the rich and varied coloring of the flowers being 

 beautiful in the extreme; flowers 2 inches long, by Uj inches 

 diameter; upright and pendulous; colors crimson, violet, rose, 

 scarlet, white, etc. The bulbs should be started in April, and 

 after blooming all summer require a season of rest. This can 

 be done by gradually withholding water from them. After they 

 are dried off, they may be kept in a warm, dry cellar, or under 

 the stage of a green-house. 



50 cts. each; $4.50 per doz. 



GERANIUMS, Ivy-leaved-Single. 



Although the foliage of this class is of sufficient interest to 

 warrant its cultivation, yet the value is greatly enhanced by the 

 beauty and profusion of its- flowers during the spring and sum- 

 mer months, running through the various shades of white, 

 pink and crimson. The list is selected as giving the widest 

 range of color. They are well adapted for rock-work or vases, 

 and for drooping over baskets, or trained on trellises, are un- 

 surpassed; few plants give more satisfaction for house culture, 

 as thev may be trained on trellises in any shape desired. 

 10 cts. each; full set of 22 sorts, $2.00. 



GERANIUMS, New Double Ivy-leaved.
