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



->P^ 



SWEET BRIER. 



True English Sweet Brier. 



(Rosa rnbiginosa.) 



Valuable for the refreshing fragrance of its leaves. This is the 

 true Eglantine. No garden should be without a plant of it. It 

 is perfectly hardy, and once it is planted, little, if any, care is 

 necessary. It is splendid for a hedge, or equally good as a group 

 on the lawn, or a single specimen in the garden. It does well 

 either in sun or shade. {See cut.) Price, dormant plants, from 

 open ground (up to April loth), $12.00 per 100; after that date, 

 from 5 in. pots, $20.00 per 100. 



NEW CREEPING ROSE. 



(Rosa Wichuriana.) 



(UNEXCEI.tED FOR CEMETERIES.) 



This beautiful Rose blooms in sprays of dazzling whiteness 

 around a golden yellow disk; trained upright to a stake, with its 

 sprays of flowers drooping downward, no prettier object can be 

 imagined, and to crown all, it is perfectly hardy. The flowers 

 are produced in wonderful profusion, are from seven to nine 

 inches in circumference, pure white, with golden yellow stamens. 

 For creeping over low walls or rockeries it cannot be excelled, 

 and it is difficult to conceive anything more appropriate, beauti- 

 ful and enduring for covering graves in cemeteries. It is per- 

 fectly hardy and requires no c?re after being planted. 



Price, dormant plants (up to April 15th), $15.00 per 100; after 

 April 15th, from 5 in. pots, $25.00 per 100. Young plants, from 

 3 in. pots, $6.00 per 100.

SPECIALTIES Odds and Ends in Roses. 



ROSA RUGOSA (Japan Rose.) 

 It forms a sturdy bush 4 to 5 feet high, covered with large, 



dark green, glossy foliage, crowned with terminal clusters of ten 



to twenty flowers three inches in diameter. Its large, handsome 



scarlet fruit is most showy during the autumn months. Excellent 



for cemeteries.

 plants (up to April 15th), $15.00 per 100.

MME. GEORGES BRTJANT.

 hardiness of the " Rugosa," with the flowering qualities of the 

 Tea- Class. Color pure white, very fragrant; buds long and 

 pointed. It is hardy everywhere, and is now very popular. Price, 

 dormant plants, up to April 15th, $15.00 per 100; after April 15th,

THE DAMASK ROSE. 

 (Rosa Damascena.) 



This is the Rose so largely cultivated in the gardens of the East 

 for the purpose of making Rosewater, Attar of Roses, etc. The 

 flowers are large and sweetly scented; the plants are vigorous in 

 habit. To this species we owe many of our modern varieties of 

 high order. We have been repeatedly asked for this Rose by our 

 customers, and take pleasure now in offering it. Price, dormant 

 plants (up to April loth), $15.00 per 100 ; after April 15tn, from 

 5 in. pots, $25.00 per 100.

MADAME PLANTIER. 

 This grand old variety is second only to " Gen. Jacqueminot " 

 in general usefulness. As a cemetery Rose it is still without a 

 rival. The flowers are borne in the greatest profusion, and are 

 of the purest white. Hardy as an oak and certain to grow as 

 grass, it is not to be wondered at that it still holds its own against 

 all comers. Price, dormant plants, $12.00 per 100 (up to April 

 15); after that date, from 5 and 6 in. pots, $20.00 per 100.

 ding Rose — good color, fine form, a profuse bloomer, and stands 

 the rigor of our Northern winters without protection. The flow- 

 ers are large, perfectly double, and of a dazzling scarlet crimson 

 color, and have that rich, spicy fragrance peculiar to the best 

 hybrid Roses; 5 in. pots (our own roots), $20.00 per 100; 3 in. pots, 

 $8.00 per 100.
