PETER HENDERSON & CO. — PLANTS FOR WINTER. 



li> 



The variety of Plants that will give a brilliant display of flowers or foliage during the fall and 

 winter is comparatively limited. We have endeavored to offer in our fall catalogue this year only the 

 varieties that are best adapted for this purpose, so that customers can rely on getting satisfactory results, if 

 ordinarv cultural care is exercised. 



NEW DOUBLE ABUTILON, 

 Thompsoni Plena. 



There are few classes of plants that are more 

 popular and desirable for house culture than the 

 Abutilon. Although many fine single varieties have 

 been raised by different florists, a double one has never 

 been produced until we produced this. It originated 

 in a "sport" from Thompsoni variegata, and it still 

 retains the beautifully mottled yellow and green 

 foliage of that variety, but with perfectly double 

 flowers, that resemble in form a double Hollyhock ; 

 color rich deep orange shaded and streaked with 

 crimson. — 30 cts. each ; $3 00 per doz. 



AZALEAS. 



"We have a large and fine stock of this beautiful 

 class of plants, which seem to be coming into more 

 favor each year. We have the double and single 

 flowered kinds in all shades — white, pink, crimson, 

 rose, &c. — 1st size, 50c. each ; $4.50 per doz. ; 2d 

 size, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz. 



New Double White Azalea " Daphne." 



The largest and finest Double White Azalea. Un- 

 like the well-known " Flag of Truce," it is a vigorous 

 grower. — 1st size. 75c. each ; $7.50 per doz. ; 2d size, 

 50c. each ; $4. 50 per doz. 



BEGONIA RUBRA. 



It is one of the finest acquisitions to our winter 

 flowering plants ; the leaves are of the darkest green. 

 the color of the flowers scarlet rose, glossy and wax 

 like. This peculiarity is so marked, that when plants 

 are placed singly in a room, the glossy appearance of 

 the leaves and foliage gives the impression that they 

 are artificial rather than natural. —25c. each ; $2.25 

 per dozen. W'e have twelve other varieties of Be 

 gonias, all of which are valued for winter flowers ; 

 20c. each ; $2.00 per dozen. 



M3M 



CARNATION, ' ' BUTTERCUP. " 



NEW YELLOW CARNATION, 



" Buttercup." 



This fine novelty is the nearest approach to a pure 

 yellow that we have ever had in Carnations. The 

 flowers are immense in size, rich yellow in color, and 

 only slightly flecked with crimson. It is a fine 

 grower and profuse bloomer. (See cut.) 



50c. each ; $4.50 per doz.
