PETER HENDERSON & CO.— FLOWER SEEDS. 



No praise is needed for these lovely, deliciously perfumed 

 climbers further than to state that they have become un- 

 usually popular in the last year or two, our sales having 

 more than tripled the past season, which is, no doubt, owing 

 to the charming new large flowering varieties that have been 

 introduced lately. They are now "the fashionable flower," 

 and little bunches of them worn, carried or in vases are seen 

 continually. HA. climbers; 4 to 6 ft. (See cut.)
