PETER HENDERSON & CO.— NEW AND SCARCE BULBS. 



Arum. 



A genus of very picturesque and ornamental plants, 

 comprising some of the most fantastic productions in the 

 Vegetable kingdom. They are quite hardy, and will suc- 

 ceed in common garden soil. 



ARUM DRACUNCULTJS, (Dragon Arum,) flowers 

 brown, one foot long, stem beautifully marbled, leaves 

 handsome, resembling a small palm. 

 25c. each. 



ARUM ITALTCTJM. Large green leaves beautifully 

 veined with white. One of the best winter plants. 



25c. each. 



Babianas. 



All of this class have showy flowers of various colors, 

 blue predominating. Some of the varieties are finely 

 variegated. They succeed best in a sandy loam, and may 

 be grown either in pots for ornamenting the greenhouse 

 or parlor, or planted in cold frame, where, if protected 

 from frost in winter, they may be allowed to remain al- 

 together. 25c. each. 



Chionodoxa Lucillae. 



(Glory of the Snow.) 

 Although this most beautiful hardy plant was first 

 found as long ago as 1842, it has been only introduced 

 into cultivation within the last five years. The intro- 

 ducer who discovered it in the mountains east of Smyrna 

 thus describes it. "At the lower level it was out of 

 flower, but near the summit a mass was met with in full 

 splendor, forming one of the most sumptuous displays of 

 floral beauty ever beheld, a mass of blue and white, most 

 intense and brilliant." It is highly praised by all the 

 English Horticultural Journals, where it is spoken of as 

 one of the most exquisite of spring flowering plants. 

 75c, each. 





Dog's Tooth Tiolets. 



(Erythronium). 

 Very pretty small growing bulbous rooted plants. Of 

 European varieties here offered, we have three colors, red 

 white and purple, whose blooms in shape resemble the 

 well known Cyclamen. 



25c. each.
