PETER HENDERSON'S CATALOGUE. 



PILOGYNE SUAVIS. 



A rapid-growing climber, with small, glossy green leaves. It 

 does well at all seasons in the house; while out of doors, in the 

 summer, it has no equal for shading the veranda or summer- 

 house. Flowers yellowish white, fragrant; an excellent basket 

 plant. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



SET OF PHLOXES. 



Many of the new Phlox- 

 es that have been raised 

 and sent out in past 

 years are very much 

 alike. For this reason we 

 have carefully selected 

 the below set, and pre- 

 sentitas containing only 

 such varieties as are 

 markedly distinct. As 

 this beautiful genus of 

 hardy plants blooms well 

 in partial shade, they 

 are, perhaps, the most 

 valuable plants we culti- 

 vate for city gardens or 

 shrubberies. This col- 

 lection embraces every 

 color from purest white 

 to darkest crimson. The 



cut shows single florets, one-half natural size; the full truss is 



from five to eight inches in diameter.

HARDY PHLOXES. 



BWABF POMEGRANATE. 



DWARF POMEGRANATE, 

 Punica Nana. 



A dwarf variety of Pomegranate. It has the peculiarity of 

 flowering profusely, while not more than a foot in height. 

 Well-grown specimens grow about six feet in height, by three 

 feet in diameter; plants of this size in bloom are truly mag- 

 nificent. The color of the flower is a peculiar shade of orange 

 scarlet — a very rare color, brilliant in the extreme. The plant 

 blooms from October to December. As it is deciduous, after 



blooming, it can be kept in a cellar or under the stage of a 

 green-house, until it is time to start it to grow again in May. In 

 any of the States where the thermometer does not fall to fifteen 

 degrees below freezing, it is entirely hardy. (See cut.) 



Extra, large plants, price, 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz.

 mains expanded until February. This peculiarity of blooming
