PETER HENDERSON'S CATALOGUE. 



NEW COLEUS, "Golden Bedder." 



This great acquisition gives us at last a pure yellow Coleus 

 that will not burn out or fail under ordinarily favorable con- 

 ditions. Tried side by side with Verschaffelti it stood as well as 

 that variety, while Oriole and other yellow kinds were almost 

 burnt up. It is short jointed and of compact style of growth, 

 and requires but little "pinching" back to keep in shape in 

 ribbon lines. We sold 30,000 of this variety alone last season. 



10 cts. each; 75 cts. per doz.; $6.00 per 100.

DWARF DAHLIA, "Marguerite." 



Tr.is beautiful new variety was exhibited for the first time at 

 the iew York Horticultural Society's rooms, and was considered 

 to be one of the greatest acquisitions of its color we have yet 

 had in Dahlias. It is of perfect double form, about two inches 

 in diameter, and of the richest shade of pink- in addition to this, 

 it blooms in the greatest profusion from beginning of August 

 until frost. This quality of earlmess is ot great value, as manv 

 varieties of Dahlias come so iate in the season as to greatly ieseeii 

 their value. 



20 cts. each ; $2.00 per doz.
