PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK- 



NEW CARNATIONS. 



We offer herewith for the first time three new seedling Carnations of which we control the 

 entire stock. They are fine, free flowering varieties, with long stems, large flowers and 

 unique in their coloring. 



Artistic. Silvery white beautifully pencilled with soft lavender pink around 



the margin, occasionally extending half w _ ay down the center of the petals. 



An unusually pretty variety. 

 Oriole. Deep golden yellow with pencillings of carmine red around margin, 



extending also in a lesser degree into the center of the flower. A very 



pretty and interesting sort. 

 Royalty. A beautiful shade of deep, bright purple; a shade not usual in 



the Carnation and very attractive. 



Price, strong field grown plants established in 5-inch pots (ready October 

 1st) 60c. each, set of 3 new Carnations for S1.50. 



THE FLEECY-WHITE FLAGRANT CLEMATIS 



CLEMATIS PANICULATA. 



This grand climbing vine, one of the most valuable ever sent to us from 

 Japan — the source of so many floral wonders — is well worthy of a place on 

 pretentious dwelling or humble cottage. No written description, no picture 

 in the limited space of a catalogue, can do justice to it. To see it in the early 

 fall, covering a porch, a trellis, an arbor, a fence, a boundary wall, a slope, 

 or any other object where it is planted, with a mass of fleecy whiteness, 

 exhaling its delicious, Hawthorn-like fragrance, is to admire and want it. 

 Even when the mass of starry flowers is gone, when the fleecy mantle of 

 white has vanished for another year there is another phase of its beauty 

 evident. Then is seen the thousands of silvery, raw-silk feathery seed ves- 

 sels hanging in graceful festoons and glistening in the sunlight. Its beauty 

 is not alone in its bloom and seed time; its refreshingly green foliage, its 

 graceful habit, led it a beauty unmatched. It will grow fifteen to twenty 

 feet in a season, it is insect-proof it is perfectly hardy, it adapts itself to all 

 situations, thrives evenvhere, and ..eed only be seen to be admired. iSee 

 cut.) Price, strong plants, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., §10.00 per 100.
