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



. . . THE NEW . . . 



Hardy Globing Rqse 



"Crimson 



Rambler." 



The new hardy Japanese climbing Rose, " Crimson Rambler," is 

 one that we offer to our customers with unbounded confidence in its 

 merits. It came to this country heralded as a wonder among flowers, 

 fW&'HM^-E*. Du * tne most extravagant praises yet bestowed on it fall short of 

 IW^t)|fei§fv doing it ample justice. The judges of one of the principal flower 

 shows in England, when awarding it a Gold Medal, the highest 

 honor they could bestow, epitomized the views of all who had seen 

 it when they said that the ordinary premiums reserved for new 

 Roses of the highest grade were entirely inadequate to indicate the 

 merits of the " Crimson Rambler." At every exhibition through- 

 out Great Britian where it was shown it received the highest honors, 

 and this opinion was endorsed. The National Rose Society of 

 England, the National Horticultural Society of France and the Inter- 

 national Exposition awarded Gold Medals to " Crimson Rambler." 

 It is of rapid, vigorous growth ; plants in our grounds attained a 

 height of fifteen feet the past season. The flowers are produced in 

 trusses, pyramidal in shape, good specimens measuring nine inches 

 from base to tip, and seven inches across, fairly covering the plant from the ground 

 to the top, so that it is one mass of glowing crimson. The color is superb, and 

 remains strong and vivid to the end ; plants in our grounds retained the bloom for 

 two months. The profusion of bloom is marvelous. A correspondent of the London 

 Garden stated that on one shoot he counted over three hundred blooms. Price, 

 plants from 2 in. pots, $15.00 per 100 ; from 3 in. pots, $30.00 per 100 ; from 5 in. 

 pots, $50.00 per 100. 



NEW HARDY VARIEGATED ROSE, 



, " Roger L,ambelin." 



One of the most remarkable Roses yet offered. The petals are irregular on the edges 

 like a double petunia ; the color is glowing crimson throughout, except the edges of the 

 petals, which are all distinctly marked with an irregular white band, forming a sharp con- 

 trast and the most unique combination of colors known in Roses. The foliage is large and 

 handsome, even for a Hybrid Perpetual Rose, a class noted for its fine foliage, and the one to 

 which the Roger Lambelin belongs. The growth is free and vigorous and the fragrance is 

 delightful, equal to the finest of the hardy Roses. This is a " Novelty " of the most striking 

 order. Price, 2 in. pots, $20.00 per 100 ; 3 in. pots, $30.00 per 100. 



" Inconstant Beauty." 



A wonderful new Rose, deriving its name of " Inconstant Beauty" {BeauU Inconstante) from 

 its quality of producing flowers of different shades on the same plant. The colors vary from 

 crimson to light pink, through shades of tawny red, light yellow with orange and citron-red 

 center, pale flesh with pink center, orange chrome and deep rose, all these colors being 

 frequently seen on one bush at the same time. The beauty of color effects is indescribable. 

 Price, 2 in. pots, $10.00 per 100 ; 3 in. pots, $15.00 per 100. 



NEW CLIMBING ROSE, 



u 



Climbing Malmaison." 



NEW HARDY CLIMBING ROSE, 

 "CRIMSON RAMBLER." 



A "sport" from the well-known Souvenir de la Malmaison, similar in flower and foliage 

 to its parent, but of exceedingly robust climbing habit. This variety will prove of inestimable 

 value to all lovers of fine climbing Roses. It will prove perfectly hardy south of Washington, 

 D. C. Price, 2 in. pots, $10.00 per 100 ; 3 in. pots, $12.00 per 100. 



NEW TEK ROSE, 



"Maman Cochet." 



A new Rose of French origin, destined, we believe, to find a prominent place among the 

 highest grade ever-blooming Roses both for summer and winter blooming. The growth is free 

 and vigorous, very free-blooming, flowers of splendid substance and a delightful shade of deep 

 pink. ^Price, 2 in. pots, $8.00 per 100 ; 3 in. pots, $12.00 per 100.
