PETER HENDERSON & COS QUARTERLY TRADE LIST OF PLANTS. 



Colleetion of New Ameriean Seedlings. 



It is with pleasure we oiler the collection of twelve seedling Chrysanthemums named below, confident that 

 they are all decided acquisitions. The entire stock of these grand sorts is held by us, so that they are now 

 offered for the first time, and at a price exceptionally low for new varieties of such pronounced merit. We ex- 

 hibited this collection at the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's exhibition in 1890. They will all make grand 

 varieties for exhibition and cut flowers. The plants are all strong, healthy growers, and make splendid flower 

 stems, either disbudded or naturally grown. 



LIST OF VARIETIES. 



ELLA MAY. 



The variety offered herewith is exceptionally good 

 in every particular. A single flower exhibited at 

 Philadelphia in 1890, but not entered for competi- 

 tion, was awarded a Special Silver Medal. In 

 the opinion of many it was the finest variety among 

 the hundreds on exhibition. The color is a beauti- 

 ful shade of clear primrose yellow, with deep apricot 

 centre. The flowers are beyond the average size, 

 frequently reaching 10 inches across ; the habit of 

 the plant is very strong and vigorous ; it has all the 

 essentials of a first class variety, and we predict a 

 brilliant future for it. Price, 30c. each, $3.00 per 

 dozen. 



MRS. I. FORSTERMAN. 



A magnificent, extra large, snowy white variety of 

 the Japanese incurved type. A superb grower and 

 free bloomer. 



SURPRISE. 



A unique shade of bronzy red, bold, handsome 

 flowers of the largest size and fine globular form. 

 A variety which is sure to find numerous admirers. 



FAULTLESS. 



Deep golden yellow, extra large and full, quilled 

 petals. In color and form it is unequaled ; some of 

 the flowers measured nearly a foot across. 



MRS. F. SCHUCHARDT. 



A charming variety, which, like all in this collec- 

 tion, is of the largest size. The coloring is exquisite ; 

 the centre of the flowers is creamy white, the ends of 

 the petals tinted delicate rose, a pronounced improve- 

 ment on this type. 



INDIAN CHIEF. 



In sharp contrast to the preceding is this variety ; 

 here the coloring is a vivid, strong crimson ; the 

 flower is equally large, but stronger ana bolder, 

 loosely incurved and decidedly Japanese in outline. 

 JULIUS ROEHRS. 

 A rich shade of violet rose, the reverse of the 

 petals silvery pink ; a unique and charming contrast. 

 Flowers of the largest size and of the popular loosely 

 incurved type. Awarded a certificate of merit at 

 Philadelphia. 



EVENING GLOW. 

 A strikingly beautiful variety, deep yellow in the 

 centre, with rich bronze red shadings toward the 

 ends of the petals, very like the rich coloring of a 

 brilliant sunset. 



POPULARITY. 

 A delicate shade of flesh pink, of fine incurved 

 form, large and handsome. The ends of the petals 

 are cut so as to resemble a stag's antlers in outline. 

 GOLDFINCH. 

 In this variety we have a richness of color rarely 

 seen, a deep, intense crimson on the upper surface of 

 the petals— the reverse being a light bronze, making 

 a pleasing contrast. 



DAVID ROSE. 

 Rosy claret, edged with silvery white, large hand- 

 some blooms. Awarded a certificate of merit at 

 Philadelphia. 



MAJESTY. 



Deep, glowing red ; in form it is similar to 

 Cullingfordii, but larger and finer ; the coloring is 

 even more intense than that fine sort. 



Price, 25c. each, except where noted. Set of twelve 

 new AMERICAN SEEDLI NG varieties for $2. 50.
