PETER HENDERSON. (Double Btuant.) 



A superb variety, grand in health, habit and size of bloom. 

 Trusses enormous; stem stiff, holding the blooms nicely above 

 the foliage; flowers semi-double, flat and broad; "a resplendent 

 red-bedder," says M. Bruant, the great French horticulturist 

 who raised it and named it in honor of Peter Henderson. It is 

 a grand variety ; we doubt if it will ever be surpassed in its 

 color. (See cut.) Price, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz. 



Double Red S ^^ ED Madame Languth. 



Like many of the most valuable additions to horticulture, 

 this grand variety was introduced without much praise, winning 

 its way by merit alone. A bed on our grounds (see cut) 

 attracted the admiration of every one last season. Bright 

 cherry-red flowers, foliage distinctly variegated pure white on a 

 green ground. Grows splendidly and blooms profusely. Price, 

 20c. each, $2.00 per doz., $12.00 per 100.

 flowers; centre very bright pink, shading to 

 white at the edges. (Double.)

 Sesostris. A beautiful fancy double, rosy-car-

 Price, S2.00 per doz., $12.00 per 100.

 with a distinct white eye shading into a rosy-
