124 PETER HENDERSON & GO.—PLANT DEPARTMENT. 
NEW ALTERNANTHERA, 
Rosea Nana. 
A new Alternanthera of great merit, which will be 
invaluable for planting with the yellow variety ‘‘ Aurea 
Nana,” on account of the similarity of growth and 
charming contrast of color. : | 
““Rosea Nana” is of dense compact growth, so reg- ; 
ular that it rarely requires clipping. In color it is 
entirely distinct from all others, being bright deep 
pink orrose. The young foliage takes on this color 
, very early in the season and maintains it until 
2 destroyed by frost, presenting a strong and beautiful 
- contrast with others of its class. 10c. each, $1.00 
per doz., $6.00 per 100. 
NEW FRAGRANT BOUVARDIA, 
‘Purity.’ Anew white Bouvardia, possessing the 
invaluable addition of a delightful Jessamine-like odor. 
The flowers are borne in the greatest profusion and 
are clear, pearly white. The foliage is a bright, glossy 
green, more graceful than the ordinary Bouvardias, 
and serves as a splendid groundwork to show to the 
best advantage the large white clusters of bloom. This splendid 
addition should increase the popularity of this fine class of 
winter-b!looming plants. Price, 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. 
NEW YELLOW BEDDING COLEUS, 
‘Sirs. D. I. Haight.’’ 
A grand yellow bedding Coleus raised by John Logan, Goshen, 
N. Y., who describes it as below. We have had it on trial for a year and can 
endorse all that has been said by him. 
‘‘This originated as a ‘sport’ from Coleus ‘Paroquette’ and is a fine golden 
yellow, never changing under the strongest sunshine, and neyer showing dark 
veining like other yellows. The foliage is equal to ‘Golden Bedder,’ but the 
habit of the plant is far superior to it. A bushy, even grower, one plant 
just the same as its fellows, this is its greatest merit. A bed of it on the sun- 
niest part of the lawn on dry soil, without any watering during the summer, 
has behaved splendidhy, far surpassing any yellow Coleus I have, and all the 
leading sorts are here.” 
Price, 15¢e. each, $1.50 per doz., $8.00 per 100.

dozen wholesale. It is \, unequaled for size, 
measuring four inches : across, and is a 
beautiful shade of blush, similar to the Malmaison Rose. Visitors 
abroad have marveled much about this wonderful Carnation, 
and we have had numerous inquiries for plants from customers in 
every section of the country. To satisfy this demand we have im- 
ported a fine lot of young plants for this season from the leading 
London grower. The fragrance of the ‘‘ Malmaison” is exquisite, 
pee the most delicious of all Carnations. Price, 50c. each, $4.50 
per doz. 
“DAYBREAK” CARNATION. 
Too much cannot be said in praise of this grand Carnation. The 
color is exquisite, a charming shade of flesh pink. It was this 
delicate shade which suggested its name of ‘‘ Daybreak,” because of 
the similarity to the first faint tinge of pink seen in the eastern sky 
af sunrise. ‘‘ Daybreak’? beeame so popular among flower lovers 
that the blooms readily sold for more than any other variety in the 
New York market the past season. The growth of the plant is 
vigorous and healthy and the flowers possess the Carnation fra- 
grance in a marked degree. Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 
NEW RED BEDDING COLEUS, 
‘*Fire Crest.’ 
The major portion of the foliage is a bright carmine crimson 
shade, the edge is slightly marked with golden yellow, which 
heightens the coloring; the centre of the leaves is blotched with 
deep bronze, the leaves are deeply toothed and have that graceful 
wavy appearance so desirable. The habit is close and compact, 
very short jointed, so that the leaves overlap each other and give 
the effect of the entire plant being one mass of brilliant red; exposed 
to the brightest sunlight this coloring is intensified. Price, 10c. \ 
each, $1.00 per doz., $6.00 per 100. OABNATION, ‘‘ DAYBREAK.”
