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



^ 



GOLDEN ROD 



(About one-third natural size.) 



GOLDEN ROD. 



The only really Yellow Canna of the Crozy type. 



The new golden yellow French Canna, to which we have given the above name, 

 was raised from seed of Madame Crozy on our grounds, and is easily the best yellow 

 variety within our knowledge. Many of the so-called yellows are only spotted 

 varieties, which at a little distance have a neutral tint; but this peerless variety is 

 clear golden yellow throxLghouU except some scarlet spots at the base of the small 

 lower petal ; this only serves to bring into prominence the beautiful yellow of the 

 upper petals. The style of growth, the foliage, the flower heads and individual 

 florets are all counterparts of Madame Crozy, which is conceded to be the ideal 

 variety in every respect, so that no higher recommendation could be given to it. 

 Price, $2.00 per doz., $12.00 per 100. 



NEW "PEACHBLOW CANNA. 



(Alba Rosea Graudiflora.) 



The most distinct variety of Canna known at the present time. The sheath which 

 encloses the flower is light bronze, the stem deep bronze; the opening flower pro- 

 truding shows a point of bright yellow, very pretty and distinct. The base of the 

 petals is rich, deep rose, tinting upwards through light rose into flesh pink, until the 

 color merges imperceptibly into creamy white, fully one-half the flower being the 

 atter color. Price, $2.00 per doz., $12-00 per 100. 



CHARLES HENDERSON. A magnificent variety, named by M. Crozy in honor 

 of one of the members of our firm. The flowers are deep, rich crimson, borne in 

 compact, symmetrical heads, above a rich green foliage. The habit of the plants is 

 dwarf— about 3}4 feet high— but the foliage is broad and massive. Price, §2.00 per 

 doz., $12.00 per 100. 



ALPHONSE BOUTIER. The richness of coloring in this variety is its greatest 

 glory, a deep, rich crimson, velvety in its intensity, overlaid with dazzling red. It is 

 a strong grower, attaining a height of six feet. Price, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 



MISS SARAH HILL. A beautiful crimson-lake overlaid with carmine, and one 

 of the very best in our list. The habit of the plant is all that could be desired, grow- 

 ing to a height of about four feet, and surmounted by symmetrical heads of flowers. 

 Price, $1.00 per doz., $8.00 per 100. 



PAUL MARQUANT. A very beautiful and distinct variety ; the individual 

 flowers are the largest among the race and are a peculiar shade of salmon, overlaid 

 lightly with soft, rosy carmine, very pleasing to the eye. Price, $1.00 per doz., $8.00 

 per 100. 



T>TAT>AT>TE CROZY. Undoubtedly the grandest of all va- 

 rieties. The color is a brilliant vermilion scarlet, bordered 

 with deep golden yellow ; the flowers are borne in great clusters 

 and in such profusion that they crown the plant with a blaze 

 of glowing color. The foliage is vivid green, broad and mas- 

 sive; the habit of the plant is compact and vigorous, its natural 

 height being rarely more than four feet. We have a grand stock 

 of this peerless variety and offer it very low, all strong plants. 

 Price, $1.00 per doz., $8.00 per 100.
