PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK -WHOLESALE PLANT LIST. 



THE WHITE CLIMBING SOLANUM. 



(Solanum Jasminoides Grandijlorum.) 

 A climbing plant, but can be grown in bush form. Flowers 

 star shaped, and borne in clusters often a foot across, pure white 

 with a violet tinge on back of petals and on the buds. Strong 

 plants, $4.00 per 100. 



THE BLUE CLIMBING SOLANUM. 



{Solanum Seafortkianum.) 

 A beautiful plant of climbing habit, bearing bright, lilac-blue 

 flowers in great, pendulous clusters like a Wistaria, and in lavish 

 profusion. The blossoms are followed by dark red seed fruits, 

 which remain a long time on the plant, adding greatly to its 

 beauty. It is one of the best summer climbing plants lately in- 

 troduced, being of robust habit, with gracefully cut foliage and 

 handsome bloom. Price, $4.00 per 100. 



NEW HARDY WHITE PINK. 

 "Her Majesty." 



This is far ahead of anything yet seen, and all the old white 

 varieties will sink into insignificance by the side of this great 

 beauty. It has become one of the most popular of the day, and 

 is splendid for cut flowers. Low-growing, with flowers of the 

 purest white, as large as a Carnation and of rich Clove fragrance. 

 Price, large clumps, $12.00 per 100. Young plants, $4.00 per 100. 



THE HARDY 



CHINESE MATRIMONY VINE 



(Lycium Chinense.) 

 Is a most vigorous hardy climbing plant. It sends out numerous 

 side branches, so that it covers a great amount of space in a short 

 time, and every new growth is at once covered with bright purple 

 flowers, which are succeeded by brilliant scarlet berries nearly 

 an inch long, every branch being loaded with them; the contrast 

 between the glossy, dark green foliage and shining scarlet fruit 

 is extremely beautiful. It continues flowering, and new berries 

 are forming from late spring until frost. The berries ripen in 

 early autumn and remain on the vine late in the winter. (See 

 ctit.) Price, 1st prize, extra strong 2-year-old plants, $2.00 per 

 doz., $12.00 per 100. Young plants, $4.00 per 100. 



PETUNIA 'WHITE SQUADRON 



Chinese matrimony vine (about '/ 3 natural size). 



NEW DOUBLE WHITE PETUNIA. 



White Squadron." This splendid Petunia, unlike most others 

 previously offered, is of strong constitution, and is covered with 

 its splendid flowers the whole season long. It was this fine 

 quality which suggested its name, every plant being crowned 

 with a squadron of pure white flowers. (See cut.) Price, $1.00 

 per doz., $6.00 per 100. 



DOUBLE FRINGED PETUNIAS. 



We devote much effort to the cultivation of the Double Petunia ; we spare no 

 pains or expense to obtain the best results, and as a consequence we succeed an- 

 nually in raising a succession of fine varieties' The varieties named below we 

 selected from the vast number of seedlings we grew the past season. They are all 

 beautifully fringed and exhibit every shade and marking found in Double Petunias. 

 Cardinal. Rich, deep violet ; deeply fringed and edged with silvery white. One 



of the finest varieties in our grounds. 

 Cherub. Pearly white, tinted blush ; base of petals rich claret. 

 Adonis. A very handsome variety, pure snow-white, lightly marked with rosy 



claret, fringed. 

 Gracie. Somewhat similar to the above, clear pearly white, with wine-colored 



veins and great blotches of purplish magenta, deeply fringed. 

 Faust. The body of the flower is deep claret, while toward the edges it becomes 



lighter, and finally ends in clear white ; a very double and finely fringed 



variety. 

 Herald. A delicate shade of blush white, light violet in the center, outer petals 



blush pink. 

 Diadem. A unique shade in Petunias, pinkish lavender, veined purplish magenta 



and crimson. 

 Superb. Brilliant violet, purple throughout the body of the flower; the margin 



of the petals pearly white. 

 Marion. Pure white, broadly marked with light claret, very finely fringed ; a 



distinct and beautiful variety. 

 President. A soft shade of flesh white, rich violet at the base of the petals. 

 Moonlight. Pure white, tinted light straw color; fringed.

 that can be said to excel in genuine usefulness the Petunia. Double Petunias 

 (from seed), $5.00 per 100. Single Petunias (from seed), $3.00 per 100. (See
