PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—WHOLESALE PLANT LIST. 13 
“MADAME CROZY.’”’ (See Engraving.) 
Undoubtedly the grandest of all varieties. The colorisa 
brilliant vermilion scarlet, dordered with deep golden yellow; 
the flowers are borne in great clusters and in such profus- 
ion that they crown the plant with a blaze of glowing color. 
The foliage is vivid green, broad and massive; the habit of 
the plant is compact and vigorous, its natural height being 
rarely more than four feet. We havea grand stock of this 
peerless variety and offer it very low, all strong plants. 
Price, 20c. each ; $2.00 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 
ALPHONSE BOUVIER. 
The richness of coloring in this variety is its greatest 
glory, a deep, rich crimson, velvety in its intensity, 
overlaid with dazzling red. Words give but a meagre 
description of its soft brilliancy. It isa strong grower, 
attaining a height of six feet, and is so very free-bloom- 
ing that from the opening to the close of the blooming 
season it is a constant mass of bloom, Price, 80c. each; 
$3.00 per doz.; $15.00 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, growing to a height of abcut 
four feet, and surmounted by symmetrical heads of 
flowers. In our grounds it was a continuous mass of 
bloom from the opening of the season until frost. Price, 
$2.00 per doz.; $10.00 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. It can be planted with telling 
effect in juxtaposition with any variety, crimson, yellow 
red or spotted, as it is distinct from all and contrasts 
as ea agreeably with any. Price, 20c. 
each, $2.00 per doz.

Visitors to the World’s Fair at Chicago will, no doubt, have pleasant 
remembrances of the brilliant display made by these peerless plants, 
and they must consequently be greatly increased in popular favor. In 
the effort to obtain fine individual flowers some dealers have, we think 
overlooked the fact that their value must always depend 
on_the effect obtained when planted in a mass, and as a 
consequence some sorts have been introduced which, al- 
though fine individually, yet lack that prime factor of 
excellence. We have tried to avoid that error, and there- 
fore offer only such as give a good display in masses, as 
well as having large individual flowers. They are, with- 
out question, the finest plants we have for summer bed- 
ding; theirrich tropical foliageand bright blossoms are in- 
dispensable for lawn decoration. They flower in the open 
ground during the entire season, and if grown in pots 
make grand plants for the conservatory or greenhouse. 
«GOLDEN ROD. 
The new golden yellow French Canna, to which we have given 
the above name, was raised from seed of Madame Crozy on our 
grounds two years ago, and is easily the best yellow variety within 
our knowledge. Many of the so-called yellows are only spotted va- 
rieties, which at alittle distance havea neutraltint; but this peerless 
variety is clear golden yellow throughout, except some scarlet spots at 
the base of the smalllowerpetal; this only serves to bring into prom- 
inence the beautiful yellow of the upper petals. Thestyle of growth, 
the foliage, the flower heads and individual florets are all counter- 
parts of Madame Crozy, which isconceded to be the ideal variety in 
every respect, so that no higher recommendation could be given to 
it. Price, 50c. each; $5.00 per doz. 
CHARLES HENDERSON. 
A magnificent variety, named by M. Crozy in honor of one 
of the members of our firm. The flowers are deep, rich 49, 
crimson, borne in compact, symmetrical heads above a rich 
green foliage. The habit of the plants is dwarf—about 314 
feet high—but the foliage is broad and massive. Taken all 
in all, this variety may well be considered the finest of lowers one-third natural size.
