PETER HENDERSON'S CATALOGUE. 



CLIMBING HYDRANGEA, as it bloomed in Staten Island. 



This beautiful climbing plant, which was first offered by us several years ago, is destined to take a front rank in popular 

 favor. It is perfectly hardy, and grows rapidly when well established. It succeeds best if planted at the base of a large 

 tree, up which it climbs, clinging to the bark like English Ivy. The engraving was taken from a specimen on the grounds of. 

 L. H. Meyer, Esq., Staten Island, New York. The plant in question was a gorgeous sight, and attracted widespread interest and, 

 admiration when in full bloom. The flowers are pure white and much larger than shown in engraving. 



75 cts. each ; $7.50 per doz. 



NEW HELIOTROPE, "King of Night." 



This superb new variety is the darkest of Heliotropes. It 

 makes large compact trusses of wonderful dark royal purple, 

 almost black, dotted in the centre with a light eye. Add to this 

 its exquisite fragrance and we have the ideal Heliotrope. 

 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz. 



HELIOTROPE, "Purple and Gold." 



An entirely new style. Foliage golden yellow; flowers large 

 purple, making a beautiful contrast with the leaves, hence the 

 name "Purple and Gold ;" in fragrance and profusion of flow, 

 ers it is in both respects equal to the best old sorts. 

 30 cts. each ; $3.00 per doz. 



HELIOTROPE, "Swanley Giant." 



In this we have an entirely new color, the first shade of red 

 yet obtained in the Heliotrope, the color being what might be 



termed a carmine rose. The size of the truss is immense, often 

 measuring 10 inches in diameter, and of the most exquisite 

 fragrance. 



30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz.; the 3 sorts for $1.00. 



HELIANTHUS MULTIFLORUS, FL. PL 



A double perennial "Sunflower" is a great addition to our 

 hardy herbaceous plants. Its dark golden yellow color is both 

 fashionable and beautiful for cut flowers ; and planted singly- 

 or in clumps on the lawn it gives a splendid effect. 

 50 cts. each ; $4.50 per doz. 



NEW BOUVARDIA BRUNETTIi. 



A rich shade of light creamy blush, in all respects similar to 

 the single white variety B. Davidsonii, but an entirely new 

 color: exceedingly rich for cut flower work. 



Price, 75 eta. each; $6.00 per doz. 



Plants arrived promptly and in splendid condition. I always do well by sending to you. MBS. THOS. LEWIS, "Washington, D. O.
