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



The most valuable 



variegated 

 plant for garden 



or greenhouse 



introduced in 



years. 



NEW JAPANESE MAPLE-LEAVED ABUTILON. 



New Japanese Maple-leaved Abutilon. 



" Souvenir de Bonn." 



(The'Jllustration was made from a plant in'our grounds). 



Of all the soft-wooded foliage plants introduced in recent years, 

 none can equal this in distinctness and usefulness. It is a strong rival 

 to a Japanese maple ; in fact, at first glance, it might be mistaken for 

 one. For massing in groups or in long borders, for single specimens, 

 either in the garden or greenhouse, for any and all decorative purposes, 

 it cannot be surpassed. It is a most striking decorative foliage plant, 

 with beautifully variegated leaves of good size, regularly and evenly 

 marked with white and green. Amid these leaves the gracefully 

 drooping, orange-colored flowers are produced in great abundance, 

 forming a clear and brilliant contrast. In habit of growth this 

 Abutilon is tree-like — strong and upright, growing three to four feet in 

 one season, but quite graceful. For summer bedding and greenhouse 

 decoration in winter it is equally valuable. We have propagated this 

 largely, as there must be an extensive demand for it, and so that it may 

 be within the reach of all we offer it very low. (See cut.) Price, $1.50 

 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 



NEW VARIEGATED ENGLISH IVY. 



The foliage is very prettily marked with pure white on a dark 

 green ground. Its great value is as a pot plant in the window or for 

 trailing from the edges of boxes or baskets. Price, plants from 3 in. 

 pots, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 



New Plants an d Plants ef Special Merit. 



NEW GIANT WHITE PARIS DAISY. 



A new large-flowering semi-double variety of the true 

 "Marguerite" of the Paris markets; large, pure white flowers, 

 three to four inches in diameter, with a double row of petals 

 surrounding the golden-yellow disk. It is a vast improvement, 

 in size of flower, on the old " Marguerite," being twice as large and 

 more numerous petals, lasting longer. It makes a grand display 

 in a pot during the winter months, and will eventually super- 

 sede the old form completely. Price, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 



NEW YELLOW PARIS DAISY. (New Branching). 

 A new, strong-growing and branch- 

 .^7 ing variety of this very useful plant. 



It will be welcomed on account of its 

 vigorous habit and golden-yellow flow- 

 ers. May be had in bloom all winter. 

 Price, 50c. per doz. ; $4.00 per 100. 



NEW DOUBLE ROSE, LYCHNIS. 

 New Winter Blooming Lychnis. 



(Lychnis Jlos cuculi plenissima semper- 

 florens.) This is a new variety of 

 Lychnis, having so many excellent 

 qualities that we are certain it must 

 become immensely popular. It is a 

 variety which, for richness of bloom 

 and the beauty of its delicate rose- 

 colored flowers, is undoubtedly an ex- 

 traordinary novelty. It is also an 

 excellent winter bloomer, bearing 

 flowers in profusion during the whole 

 winter without any special care. 

 Plants with half-developed buds put 

 into the house in late fall can be 

 brought into bloom in four weeks, in a 

 moderate temperature. It is perfectly 

 hardy, grows very easily and rapidly, 

 and comes in bloom when quite small, 

 forming bushes 12 to 18 inches high. 

 It is constantly sending out new shoots, 

 every one of which produces a number 

 of buds, covering it with innumerable 

 flowers from spring to fall. The flow- 

 ers are borne in loose, long-stemmed 

 clusters, which are very useful for 

 bouquets and vases of flowers. (See cut). 

 Price, $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100.
