PETER HENDERSON'S CATALOGUE. 



CANNA EHEMAIMI. 



Entirely distinct from all other Cannas, its rich green tropical 

 foliage resembling the Musa or Banana. Its greatest merit, 

 however, lies in the flowers, which are three inches long and 

 two inches wide, of a glowing crimson color. They are pro- 

 duced in masses on the summit of whip-like stalks, single 

 plants having seven or eight stalks, with 25 or 30 flowers on 

 each. After flowering in summer the roots can he lifted and 

 will bloom all winter in the house. 



50 ots. each ; $4.50 per dozen. 



ERYNGIUM PANDANAFOLIA. 



A beautiful ornamental leaved plant resembling some of the 

 Dracenas or Screw Pines, but as it is of quick growth and easy 

 propagation, it is sold much cheaper. It produces beautiful 

 blue and purple flowers during the summer and fall months. 

 It makes an excellent room plant, and is also well suited for 

 centres of vases, baskets, etc. It can also be easily grown to an 

 excellent plant for exhibition purposes. 



Price, 25 cts., 50 cts. and $1.00 each, according to size. 







Erythrina Hendersoni 



The great beauty of this plant cannot be told 

 by a description. If set out in the open ground 

 in spring, it blooms without intermission all 

 summer. The flowers are large and brilliant, 

 dark crimson in color, and fairly cover the plant 

 when in full bloom. The old " Coral Plant," 

 Erythrina C. Galli, only flowers well when two 

 or three years old, but this acquisition is grand 

 the first season. {See cut.) 50 cts. each ; $4.50 

 per doz. 



EUCHARIS CANDIDA, 

 New "Amazon Lily." 



The old variety, E. "Amazomca," has always 

 proved an uncertain plant to bloom, but this 

 new variety produces its flowers with the 

 greatest freedom, and though a little smaller 

 is equally beautiful. Its free-flowering ten- 

 dencies will be appreciated by florists, as its 

 pure white, wax-like blooms often wholesale for 

 $15.00 to $25.00 per 100 in the winter season. 



1st size, $1.00 each ; $9.00 per doz.

NEW FEVEUFEW, "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 

 other-. This varietv 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 perfect form, and of the purest white. 30 cts. each ; $3.00 per doz. 



Plants arrived in splendid condition. Your liberality astonishes me.
