14 PETER HENDERSON & CO’S QUARTERLY TRADE LIST OF PLANTS. 
TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. 
The above engraving shows these grand 
Bedding Begonias. The kinds we 
offer were specially grown for us and are 
a comparatively new section of this beauti- 
ful tribe, They are now largely grown as 
bedding plants and no doubt will be almost 
universally planted in the very near future. 
The colors are far more varied and brilliant 
than Geraniums, the single flowers meas- 
uring from 3 to 5 inches across, ranging 
through all the shades of crimson, scarlet, 
rose, orange, etc. They require the same 
treatment as the fancy leaved Caladiums, 
Gloxinias, etc. ; that is, the tubers are dried 
off in winter and started again in spring.

NEW COLEUS. 
‘¢ Silwer Leaf.”’ 
This is the nearest approach to white we 
have yet obtained in a Coleus. In fact, 
under glass it is a silvery white in the centre, 
while outside it is a very light yellow. The 
edge of the foliage is a pleasing shade of 
green, contrasting finely with the light 
colored centre. The habit of the plant is 
particularly graceful, the leaves being 
gracefully twisted unlike any other variety.

tre plant for vases, Price, $1.00 per doz. ; $6.00 per 100. 
New White Carnation, LIZZIE MeGOWAN.” 
This grand variety originated with John McGowan, Orange, N. J., and 
is a ‘‘ Pedigree” seedling, being the result of a cross between Heinze’s 
White and Peter Henderson. The flowers are of the purest white, fre- 
quently three inches across and are of fine substance, so that it is finely adapted 
for shlpping. The habit of the plant is strong and free, being remarkably 
floriferous. It is uudoubtedly the finest white variety on the market at pres- 
ent, Price, plants from 2 in. pots, $2.00 per doz.; $12.00 per 100, 
NEW HYBRID GLOXINIAS. 
We offer this year a grand assortment of the above, specially selected for 
us from a prize European collection. They are among the handsomest of our 
summer blooming plants, the rich and varied coioring of the flowers being 
beautiful in the extreme, many of them beauti‘ully speckled ; flowers three 
inches long by two inches in diameter; upright and pendulous; colors 
crimson, violet, rose, scarlet, white, etc. The bulks should be started in 
April, and after blooming all summer require a season of rest from Nov- 
ember to April. This is done by gradually withholding water from 
them. They attain the greatest perfection if grown in light, rich soil 
in a shady, well ventilated frame. After they are done growing, 
they may be kept ina warm, dry cellar, or under the stage of a green- 
house, or any warm place where they don’t getwet. Price, $2.00 per 
doz.; $12.00 per 10
