PETER HENDERSON & CO.^NEW AND SCARCE BULBS. 



Lilium Longiflorum Eximium. 



This, the latest novelty in Lilies, has appeared under a 

 variety of names, the author of each claiming some points 

 ■of excellence not possessed by the others. First intro- 

 duced under the name of Lilium Harrisii. then Lilium 

 Longiflorum Floribunda, and finally •• The Lily." 

 It is certainly remarkable for the number and size of the 

 flowers produced from very small bulbs. We know that 

 flowers have been produced from single scales, within a 

 year from time of planting. For forcing, it will no doubt 

 prove superior to any other Lily grown, 



75c. each ; $7.50 per dozen. 



Solomon's Seal. 



(Polygonatum.) 



Very handsome, hardy, herbaceous plants, with white 



flowers, not often seen in gardens, but deserving a place 



in every collection of hardy plants. It has added value 



in the fact that it is as useful for forcing purposes as 



Lily of the Valley, to which it is allied. 



20c each. 



Paeonia Tenuifolia, Fl. PL 



Fine full double flower of rich crimson shade, very 

 distinct and handsome, its foliage is delicate and fern- 

 like, and altogether it forms a very attractive plant, (see 

 cut.) 75c each. 



Crown Imperials. 



Besides the ordinary mixed sorts offered elsewhere in 

 the list, we can furnish the following varieties : 

 YELLOW, 50 cents each. 

 RED, 30 cents each. 

 CROWN UPON CROWN. 30 cents each. 



Tulip Greigii. 



This most distinct and beautiful novelty is dwarf grow- 

 ing, flowers of a deep orange scarlet hue, with a clearly 

 defined center of yellow and black, the foliage is bright 

 green, curiously spotted with large blotches of brown. 

 $1 00 each. 



Scillas. 



Scilla Peruviana. 



Very beautiful class, blooming rather late in Spring. 

 The illustration shows the variety known as Peruviana, 

 which bears large pyramidal spikes of flowers. Of this 

 we offer a blue and white variety. 

 25c each. 



Scilla Campanulata. 



A useful plant for forcing or for open ground. Flowers 

 blue, borne on spike, but not so dense as Peruviana. 

 25c each. 



Tulip Gesneriana. 



The largest flowered, tallest growing, and perhaps the 

 most showy of all Tulips. Flowers dazzling scarlet, 

 with glittering black centre, making it a conspicuous ob- 

 ject at long distances. 



10c each, $1.00 per dozen. 



The Cape Hyacinth. 



(Hyacinth us Caudicans-) 

 A very pleasing plant, supposed to be only half-hardy, 

 but which stood last winter in this vicinity without in- 

 jury. It is a strong grower, and shoots upward a ■ 

 from three to four feet high, upon which arc regularly 

 arranged large drooping white flowers, of exquisite fra- 

 grance. 



30 cents each.
