PETER HEXDERSOX & CO. "5 CATALOGUE OF SEEDS. 



Phlox Drumrriondi Heynholdi Cardinalis. This superb novelty is a very val- 

 uable, and in every respect a fine improvement on the parent sort. Tlie copper rose 

 tinge, as well as the paleness of the under sides of the petals — which, in the case of 

 Heynholdi, somewhat lessen the brilliancy of the effect — have «iven place in the much 

 larger flowers of this splendid variety to a pure intense firy color. The plants in ad- 

 dition are more robust in growth, the foliage larger, and of a fresher and darker green. 

 Per packet, 25 ceuts. 



Picotee Pink, extra choice mixed. Saved from one of the finest strains in cultiva- 

 tion, jmbracing the beautiful varieties with pure white grounds, elegantly margined or 

 fringed with crimson, scarlet or carmine, and the yellow grounds, finely striped and 

 fringed with lilac, rose and scarlet. Per packet, 50 cents. 



Portulaca Grandinora IT. Pleno, extra choice mixed. Very beautiful double- 

 flowering varieties, of dwarf, compact habit, producing large brilliant-colored flowers, 

 including golden yellow, piarple, scarlet, and white varieties. Per packet, 25 cents. 

 Primula Sinensis Fimbriata Alba, ) Extra choice. Our seed of these well-known 



■ Rubra, > and greatly admired green-house plants is saved 



Mixed, S from one of the best English collections, and is 



much superior to the ordinary run of Primulas. Per packet, 50 cents each. 



Primula Japonica (Xew Japanese Primrose). This lovely Primrose is one of the finest 

 novelties of modern times. It is a hardy herbaceous plant, and by far the most vigor- 

 ous and robust kind in its family yet introduced to our gardens, growing about 1+ feet 

 in height, and producing from its tuft of robust leaves a stem bearing four or five sep- 

 arate tiers or whorls of charming flowers, each flower an inch in diameter. Per packet, 

 25 cents. 



Salvia Splendens {Scarlet Sage). This fine plant is too well-known to need any de- 

 scription. Per packet, 25 cents. 



Salvia Splendens Alba. This very distinct and striking novelty is a white variety 

 of the popular Scarlet Sage, identical in every respect, except in color, which is of the 

 purest white. Per packet, 50 cents. 



Silene Pendula Compacta. This, as its name implies, is a compact-growing form 

 of the well-known Silene Pendula : the flowers are of the same size and color as those 

 of the type, but the plant is so dwarf and compact that it forms dense cushions two or 

 three inches in height, and from nine to twelve inches in diameter, and during the sea- 

 son is perfectly solid with bloom ; unquestionably a most valuable acquisition for spring 

 gardening, as it reproduces itself true from seed, and may be used for small beds and 

 marginal lines with the best possible effect. Per packet, 25 cents. 

 Stocks. German. Ail the finest varieties. (Seepage 43.) 

 Srnilax. (See Myrsiphyllum Asparagoides.)

 tifully colored, and smooth-edged flowers, produced iu immense trusses. Per packet, 

 10 cents. 



Tasconia Van Volxemi. This beautiful climber was found in New Granada. It is 

 a plant that flowers most abundantly, and for almost the whole year; the flowers indi- 

 vidually are about five inches in diameter, and of the richest scarlet. Per packet, 25 cts. 

 Verbena, extra choice mixed. Saved from our own splendid collection of the best 

 named varieties. Great care has been taken that this seed should be saved from such 

 as are really good bedding kinds, and of attractive colors. Per packet, 25 cents.
