8 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— WHOLESALE CATALOGUE:— PLANTS. 



aplERICP BEJUTy. 



In "American Beauty " we have 

 a hardy Rose of the largest size, 

 II. having- the ever-blooming qualities of the Tea Rose, with 

 * the delicious odor of the Damask or Moss Rose, consequently 

 equally valuable for winter or summer flowering. In color it is a 

 deep, brilliant pink, shaded toward the centre with rich carmine 

 crimson. (See cut.) Price, plants from 3-inch pots, $12.00 per 

 100. 



Bridesmaid. Another Rose of American origin, a " sport " from 

 C. Mermet. and possessing all the good qualities of the parent 

 variety. It surpasses it in color, being a deep, brilliant pink and 

 constant in color under all conditions. It is invaluable tor winter. 



Catherine Mermet. This charming Rose deserves and re- 

 ceives recognition from all Rose lovers. The color is a delicate 

 rosy pink unapproached by any other. The buds are large, long 

 and pointed, of great substance and most delicious fragrance. 



Christine de Noue. A Rose of pronounced merit, largest size, 

 full and double and remarkably fragrant. The color is brilliant 

 red at the base, toning upward to brilliant rose madder 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. A Hybrid Tea Rose, soft, pearly 

 white, lightly tinted with lemon in the centre, remarkably fra- 

 grant, a strong healthy grower, with bold, beautiful foliage. 

 The flowers are borne on long stems. 



La France. Beautiful peach pink, large, fragrant flowers; one 

 of the most desirable for summer or winter. 



Mrs Robt. Garrett (new). (See page 4.) 



Mrs. Pierpont Morgan. A " sport from Madame Cusin, and is 

 in every way very much superior to that variety, being a much 

 more robust grower ; the flowers are very much larger and very 

 double. The color is intensely bright cerise, or rose pink, with 

 porcelain rose shadings. It is a grand Rose for winter forcing, 

 and of equal, if not greater value for summer gardens, as its fine 

 double flowers are eminently adapted to our hot, dry summers, 

 and its vigorous habit and free-flowering qualities easily entitle 

 it to a front rank. 



BLOOMING . 



Mme. Caroline Testout. A magnificent Rose, equally 

 valuable for summer or winter blooming; flowers full, 

 very large, globular form; color clear satin rose; very 



fragrant. 



Madame Hoste. This is a creamy white shade with a clear 

 amber centre, a handsome Rose, and very free bloomer. 



Meteor. This is a remarkably rich, dark velvety crimson Rose; 

 so dark indeed, that under certain conditions it is blackish crim- 

 son For winter flowers it is a most valuable variety. 



Niphetos. The White Rose par excellence, large pointed buds, 

 very free flowering. Invaluable for winter and summer. 



Papa Gontier. This is a useful winter flowering Rose, equally 

 valuable for summer. Color a glowing carmine crimson. 



Perle des Jardins. No yellow Rose is more valuable than this. 

 Tens of thousands of it are grown in the vicinity of New York 

 for winter flowering ; it is equally valuable for summer. 



Souvenir du President Carnot. A Hybrid Tea Rose of the 

 greatest promise. It is unquestionably the finest Rose of its color 

 introduced in a decade. Whether considered from the standpoint 

 of the commercial cut-flower grower or from its fitness for garden 

 work, this Rose is without a superior, and it is doubtful if it has 

 an equal. The growth is vigorous, the foliage dark green and 

 very handsome, but the glory of the variety is in its flower. It is 

 very large, both in the bud and in the expanded flower, double 

 to the centre and opens beautifully. Technically described, it 

 could be called a rosy flesh very soft in the centre, and shaded 

 with a lighter flesh at the end of the petals. It has taken front 

 rank already in the metropolis. 



Souvenir de Wootton This fine Rose is invaluable for 

 winter blooming. The color is a beautiful shade of crimson, deli- 

 riously fragrant, a constant and most prolific bloomer. 



Sunset. This exquisite orange yellow variety is one of the finest 

 Tea Roses grown. The flowers are large and double. It is de- 

 liriously fragrant, a strong-growing and free-flowering variety. 



The Bride. "The Bride is a pure white Rose of large size and 

 most perfect form. This variety has the most delicious Tea 

 fragrance, and is equally valuable either for summer or winter. 



Price — All the Roses on this page (except where noted), strong 

 plants from 3-in. pots, at $6-oo per 100; a-in, pots, $4.00 per 109.
