PETER HENDERSON & COS QUARTERLY TRADE LIST OF PLANTS. 



11 



Flowers one-half natural size. 



TUBEROUS BEGONIAS. 



ALL SELECTED BULBS. 



These are now the most popular plants for beds of 

 summer flowers or as pot plants for the greenhouse, 

 conservatory or sitting-room. Our bulbs are all sound, 

 well matured and of good size. For a time it was gene- 

 rally supposed that these could not be grown in the open 

 air with success, but extensive plantings of them in var- 

 ious sections of the country have demonstrated their 

 adaptability for this purpose. Nothing can exceed the 

 brilliancy of their colors, the delicacy of their tints, the 

 richness of their waxy flowers, the gorgeousness of their 

 effect in masses or their graceful appearance in beds or 

 borders. From the time the first blossom appears until 

 all growth is stopped by frost they are never out of bloom, 

 and such blooms, great waxy flowers from three to five 

 inches across, borne in such profusion that the rich 

 glossy green foliage is almost hidden under the wealth of 

 blossoms.

"TOM THUMB" CALLA LILY. 



"Little Gem" (Elliott's.) 

 The great value of this over the common Calla Lily lies in its 

 dwarf habit and freedom of bloom. The principal objection to the 

 old variety is found in its rank growth, but in this improved sort 

 that objection is overcome. It rarely exceeds 12 inches in height 

 and blooms most abundantly. The flowers are not more than half 

 the size of the common variety, and therefore can be used with 

 telling effect in bouquets. It is in every way superior as a house 

 plant to the larger growing variety. Price, strong plants from 

 S in. pots, $2.00 per doz.; $l5.00per 100. 2in. pots, $1.25 perdoz.;
