PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— BULBS FOR AUTUMN PLANTING. 



.^ CYCLAMEN. .^ 



These are among the most beautiful and interesting •win- 

 ter and spring ilowering bulbs for the window and green- 

 hoiise. Not only are the flowers of striking beaut.T, but the 

 foliage is highly ornamental ; consequently they are Tery 

 decorative, even when not in bloom. There are no plants 

 better adapted for pot culture, and few that produce such 

 a profusion of bloom ; the flowers range through many 

 shades, pink, crimson, white, etc., some being beautifully 

 spotted. Most of them are, moreover, delicately fragrant.

BLEEDING HEART. 



[Ready in JVovember.) 



S'pecta.'bilis (Bleeding Seart). One 

 of the most ornamental of spring- 

 flowering plants, with elegant green 

 foliage and long drooping racemes 

 of pink and white heart-shaped 

 flowers. This is deemed one of 

 the finest of all hardy garden 

 plants, and is frequently forced 

 for greenhouse or conserva- 

 tory decoration. 20c. each, 

 $2.25 per doz. 



Cacullaria {Dutchman's Breeches). 



Similar to the above, one of our most 



beautiful spring flowers ; fern-like foliage and 



a profusion of white blossoms. (See cut.) 20c. each, 



$2.25 per doz. 



RYTHRONIUM QRANDIFLORUM. 



Giant Dog's-Toolh Violet.^ 



Z, >'^ 





A beautiful large flowering variety, perfectly hardy ; the foliage is charm- 

 ingly variegated, and a mass of 15 or 20 plants is a pretty sight, even when 

 not in flower, but when the graceful flowers are in bloom the effect is 

 matchless. The plants luxuriate in rather moist, partially shady positions, 

 and do very nicely when grown in pots in frames and brought into the 

 conservatory or window garden for winter blooming. This variety bears 

 from 6 to 12 yellow or cream-colored flowers on stems 12 to 18 inches high. 

 [See cut.) 3 for 12c., 35c. per doz., $2.50 per 100.
