PETER HENDERSON'S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



FOREIGN GRAPE VIISES 

 FOR VINERIES. 



We have a large stock of the finest varieties in splendid condi- 

 tion, with particularly well ripened canes. Pai-ties who propose 

 erecting new graperies, or who wish to replenish their stock, will 

 do well to write us. The varieties marked "H" are suited for 

 hot graperies ; those marked " H <fc C ' will do in either. We have 

 this season prepared a few hundred extra sized vines, such as will 

 produce a crop of fruit this season. As they can be fruited in pots, 

 it gives those who have no regular grapery an opportunity of rais- 

 ing a crop of " Hot-house Grapes." Also in planting new graper- 

 ies these fruiting vines are used temporarily until the young vines 

 are old enough to fruit. 



Muscat of Alexandria. Large grape of light golden color ; the 



most popular of the white kinds. H & C*

 vines of the 5 varieties marked with an asterisk (*), S3. 00 each. 



INDUSTRY GOOSEBERRY. 



A Gooseberrj- possessing desirable qualities for table and market 

 has long been a desideratum. The foreign varieties, wherever 

 tried, have either mildewed more or less, or they have made an 

 unsatisfactory growth. Hence a large, handsome sort of good 

 quality has been much sought after. Although a foreign sort, it 

 has done admirably for three seasons, being a vigorous grower and 

 an immense yielder, and showing no signs of mildew. The annexed 

 illustration shows the size of the fruit. We confidently recommend 

 it for the garden and market, being unequaled for size, flavor, 

 productiveness and vigorous growth. Color dark red. {See cut.) 

 50 cts. each ; $4.50 per dozen. 



Houghton's Seedling. A vigorous and very productive variety, 

 not affected by mildew. Probably the best American Goose- 

 berry. 20 cts. each ; SI. 50 per dozen. 



INDUSTRY 0008EBEBRT. 



Cherry. Dark red ; the 

 best variety for market.

 ble use.

 currant we have. Large, won- 

 derfully prolific, of good flavor 

 and less acid than the above.

 into bearing early. Strong 

 plants. {See cut.) 



40 cts. each ; $4.00 per dozen.

 Blackberry j. The finest of its

 sents medium-sized berries. Price, $1.50 per doz. ; $10.00 per 100.
