PETER HENDERSON & CO. PLANTS. 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



In no class of plains has there been more improvement 

 ill the last few years than in this. Those who only 

 know the old-fashioned flowering "Artemisia" of the 

 garden, would scarcely recognize the fashionable Chrys- 

 anthemum of to-day as belonging to the same family. In 

 this large flowering class we now have many varieties, 

 with flowers as large as those of the Dahlia, while in 

 the Japanese section the fantastic shapes that some 

 varieties assume are truly wonderful. We offer 25 dis- 

 tinct kinds, of recent importation, of each of the " large 

 flowering " Pompon and Japanese classes. 



Price, 1st size, 30a each, $3 00 per dozen.

NEW CHRYSANTHEMUM, "Spotless." 



Chrysanthemums will flower from October to January, 

 without fire heat, only requiring the protection of a room 

 or cold frame. This beautiful variety belongs to the large 

 flowering class, the flowers being of immense size and 

 pure pearly white. 



1st size, 30c. each, $3 00 per dozen.

NEW CHRYSANTHEMUM, Yellow Stone. 

 Color dark golden j-ellow, similar to the above in 

 every other respect. 



1st size, 30c. each, $3 00 per dozen.

NEW CHRYSANTHEMUM, 'Snowdrop." 



This is the prettiest and most useful of all the Pompon 

 Chrysanthemums. It grows usually one flower on a 

 stalk, and of the purest and most sparkling white; very 

 full, and measures just one inch across. This variety 

 will prove of great value for cut flowers. 

 50c. each, .$4 50 per dozen. 



CHRYSANTHEMUM LATE DUCHESS. 



Pure white ray of petals, 3 inches in diameter, with 

 golden yellow centre, entirely distinct from any other 

 variety, and having the valuable property of flowering a 

 month later, well-grown plants being in perfection about 

 Christmas. 



50c. each, $4 50 per dozen. 



NEW CARNATION SNOWBALL. 



A new variety. Flowers of the purest white and very 

 large, habit good, and of very healthy, vigorous constitu- 

 tion, large clumps. 



50c. each, $4 50 per dozen. 

 NEW YELLOW CARNATION "Buttercup." 

 This fine novelty is the nearest approach to a pure 

 yellow that we have ever had in Carnations. The 

 flowers are immense in size, rich yellow in color, and 

 only slightly flecked with crimson. It is a fine grower 

 and profuse bloomer. 



Large clumps, $1 00 each. 



SCARLET CARNATION — Philadelphia. 



This is now an established variety for winter flowering. 

 Color, intense scarlet, good size, and very productive. 

 50c. each, $4 50 per dozen. 



OLDER VARD3TIES CARNATION. 



PETER HENDERSON, pure white. 

 LA PURITE, carmine. 

 CRIMSON KINO, crimson maroon. 

 SKACAUCUS, deep pink. 

 ROSY MORN, dark rose color. 

 SNOWDON. white, very profuse. 

 Large clumps, 25c. each, $2 25 per dozen. 



CALLA ETHIOPICA. (Lily of the Nile.) 



This is familiar to every one. Large flowering plants. 

 Price, 25c. to 75c. each. 



CROTO.V AUREA MACULATA. 



CROTON AUREA MACULATA. 



(" Zebra Croton.") 

 The cut gives a fair idea of this splendid variety. 

 Nearly all Crotons fail to show their fine colors until 

 grown to a large size, but this variety is beautiful in ail 

 its stages, from a 3 inch pot to a towering specimen. The 

 light parts in the cut show the golden yellow, and the 

 dark the green. 



Price, 1st size, $1 00 each; $9 00 per doz.
