PETF.R HENDERSON & CO.— PLANTS FOR WINTER DECORATION. 



jPlant • ^Department. 



INDOW GARDENING is growing in popularity each year, and to meet this increasing demand, we have prepared plants 

 specially for that purpose. With a little care most plants can be successfully cultivated in an ordinary sitting-room 

 window. On the following pages will be found a varied list cf suitable plants, foliage, flowering, climbing and drooping, suitable 

 for growing singly in pots or for filling window boxes. 



We call particular attention to our list of Palms, and venture to say, that for the money expended there is nothing we offer 

 which will give more satisfaction to our customers They are especially grown for window and room culture, and 

 ■with ordinary care may be kept in perfect condition for years. Our stock of Roses, Carnations, Primroses, Chrysanthe- 

 mums, and other winter blooming plants, is exceptionally fine, and contains only such varieties as are specially adapted for this 

 purpose. In this connection we would say, that the variety of plants which will thrive and bloom during the winter months 

 is comparatively limited, and the lack of success which occasionally d'scourages amateurs, is due more frequently to a poor selection 

 of varieties than mistakes in culture. With this point in view, we have carefully selected only such sorts as are adapted for this 

 purpose, so that the most inexperienced amateur is perfectly safe in ordering from this catalogue, from the fact that it contains only 

 such plants as are highly ornamental, either in flower or foliage, during the fall, winter and early spring months. We also offer a 

 range of sizes in nearly everything, thus enabling customers to secure a large plant for immediate effect or a small one at a low 

 price if desired.
