PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



NEW CORAI. BOUTARDIA. 



Bockii. A beautiful shade of deep coral, the base of the 

 petals and throat being clear white, producmg a unique 

 and novel effect. Like the preceding varieties, it is a 

 strong, vigorous grower and most profuse bloomer. 



Price, very large stock plants, $1.50 each ; 815.00 per dozen. 



Young plants 25 cts. " 2.25 " 



Set of three fine 

 plants, forS4.50. 



New Bouvardias, in very large stock 



NEIJV DWARF BOUVARDIA. 



"Wliite Bouquet. An entirely novel and distinct variety of 

 which we hold the entire stock, purchased from the raiser, Mr. 

 Wm. Bock, North Cambridge, Mass. IL is a sport from 

 B. Vreelandii, having the same finely formed pure white truss 

 of that variety. It is distinct in being earlier in flowering, but 

 above all its great merit lies in its exceedingly dwarf and 

 rounded habit, forming a bush which resembles a white Bou- 

 quet, the flowers nestling in the leaves, so that each individual 

 truss forms a miniature white bouquet. For use as a pot-plant 

 or to be grown on low front benches, its dwarf, compact growth 

 makes it most valuable. [See cut.) 



Price, very large stock plants, S2.00 each, S21.00 per dozen. 

 Young plants 30 cts. " 3.00 



NEW SCARLET BOU\ ARDIA. 



Prest. Cleveland. A "sport" from B. Elegans, and certainly 

 the finest scarlet crimson variety yet introduced. It surpasses 

 all other red varieties in richness of color, profusion of bloom 

 and vigor of growth, while it is fully one-third larger in the truss 

 and individual floret. It is in every respect a decided acquisition. 

 Price, verj' large stock plants, SI. 50 each; S15.00 perdoz. 

 Young plants, 25 cts. " 2.25 " 



NEW YEEEOIJV COEEUS. 



Peter Henderson. This variety, raised by a Southern 

 florist and named in our honor, will make a fitting com- 

 panion to plant with the "Black Dwarf." {See cut.) 

 In style of growth it is slightly stronger, attaining a 

 height of nine inches, color bright golden yellow slightly 

 mai'gined with green. The leaves are deeply fringed and 

 twisted, giving a graceful appearance to the plant. 

 Price, 25 cts. each ; S2.00 per dozen. 



OTHER NEIV COEEUS. 



Russet Beauty. Eusset brown, netted canary yellow ; novel 

 and distinct. 



Variabilis. Splashed, striped and blotched with crimson, bronze, 

 yellow, pink, green, etc., a veritable "Joseph's Coat." 



Simoon. Deep lurid crimson ; deeplj- cut and fringed. 



ALhambra. Eosy carmine, edged with bronzy black; deeply 

 serrated. 25 cts. each. 



NE^W DTVARF COEEUS. 



Black D'warf. Entirely distinct from anj^thing we have hereto- 

 fore had. It grows exactly like the Alternantheras, attaining a 

 height of only from 4 to 6 inches. Color rich glossy black. It 



is too dwarf in growth to be 

 used with the ordinary 

 Coleus, but wherever Al- 

 ternantheras, Alyssums or 

 other low-growing bedding 

 plants are used in " Eibbon 

 Lines" or " carpet bedding" 

 ' this new Coleus can be used 

 with novel effect. It will also 

 make the best companion 

 for the new yellow dwarf 

 Coleus offered above, and 

 will no doubt be used ex- 

 tensively as a "Mourning" 

 plant in cemeteries. 

 Price, 25 cts. each ; $2.00 



COLEUS, "BLACK DWARF." P^r dOZCU. 



Set of six new Coleus for $1.25. 



I received my plants by express last evening. They were in fine condition, and I was much pleased with them. The Camellias and Bouvardias were in fine con- 

 dition.— Mrs. F. W. Stkkkt, Sonora, Cal., March 4th, 1888.
