PETER HENDERSON’S NEW WHOLESALE TRADE LIST. 
LEMON-SCENTED GERANIUM. 
This scarce variety has a more pleasing fragrance than 
any of the other scented Geraniums, but being more diffi- 
cult of progagation has never become common. 
Good plants, 3 in. pots, $1.00 per dozen. 
GERANIUM MRS. TAYLOR 
(The Scarlet Flowered Rose Variety.) 
We would call special attention to this splendid variety, 
knowing that it is ove of the most valuable for florists, 
use. The foliage has the same form and fragrance as the 
common Rose Geranium, but is a darker green. It pro- 
duces scarlet crimson flowers in large trusses that rival 
many of the Pelargoniums in appearance.

that we have raised in the past twenty years, 
we have never produced one that equals this. 
The individual florets are larger than those of 
any variety of its color, being 1 inch in diame- 
ter. The trusses are 34 inches across and of 
perfect form. The color is a striking shade of 
“ crimson scarlet with an immense white eye. It 
was pronounced by many leading florists, who 
‘saw it in our grounds last summer, to be the 
finest Verbena ever yet produced. The engrav- 
ing gives but an indifferent idea of its grand 
appearance. 30 cts. each; $4 50 per doz.
