PETER HENDERSON A. CO., NEW YORK- ^ 



SPIR/EA or ASTILBE. 



In garden culture these flower freely during the 



summer and are perfectly hardy, but their great 



value is when gown in pots for window and 



greenhouse decoration, in winter and spring 



and for forcing for cutting. The flowers 



are borne in large, feathery panicles, and 



last a long time in bloom. (Ready for 



shipment in November.) 



Gladstone. A new large-flowering 

 Spiraea — an improvement over all 

 other white-flowering Spiraeas — • 

 and one of the most beautiful 

 winter and spring flowering pot 

 plants grown; the immense trusses 

 of flowers are as white as snow, 

 and are borne on erect, strong 

 stalks 18 inches high. Well-grown 

 plants bear 25 to 40 of these 

 plume-like trusses practically en- 

 veloping the plant with a feathery 

 foam. Undoubtedly one of the most 

 beautiful and graceful subjects grown 

 for winter and spring decoration in the 

 house and conservatory, while for grace 

 and elegance as a cut flower it is unequaled. 

 Price of strong roots, 20c. each; S2.00 per 

 doz., or delivered 30c. each; S.3.00 per doz 



The New Pink Spiraea " Peach Blossom." This 

 beautiful rosy pink variety is of the same dwarf com' 

 pact habit as " Gladstone." It forces equally as well 

 under the same cultural conditions, only it comes into bloom 

 a few days later. If slightly shaded when coming into 

 bloom the color will be brought out to perfection. Well 

 grown pots of it in bloom are very attractive. It is also 

 a fine hardy plant for the garden. Strong clumps of the 

 true deep rosy pink strain. Price, 25c. each; $2.50 per 

 doz.. or delivered, 35c. each, S3. 50 per doz.

(Watsonia Ardensei Alba.) This new white variety was introduced from South Africa recently has 

 aroused great interest and will, most likely, become a very popular plant, for it has unusual merit. The 

 bulbs, something like those of gladiolus, send up branching stems, 3 to 4 feet high, each stem bearing a 

 dozen or more flowers 2^to 3 inches long by 2 inches across. Its pure snow-white color and great sub- 

 stance render it exceptionally beautiful as a cut fiower. It may be grown as a winter cut flower, or the 

 bulb may be planted in the spring in the garden, like a gladioli, flowering from July to September. A
