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



NeW Chrysanthemums for 1904. 



Below we offer the grandest set of new varieties ever intro- 

 duced. These are so good that no grower can afford to be 

 without them. One plant purchased this year is worth one 

 hundred bought next season. 



W. Duckham. A Japanese incurved pink; undoubtedly the 

 grandest pink ever sent out; won the C. S. A. silver cup for 

 best ten flowers of any variety. Is the finest keeper of any 

 '"mum " known; holds its color; does not damp a petal; 

 splendid grower and develops grandly from any bud after 

 August 5th. It makes an ideal plant for 6-inch pots and will 

 undoubtedly hold first place for years to come. Price, 75c. 

 each, $7.50 per doz., $60.00 per 100, $500.00 per 1,000. 



F. A. Cobbold. One of the very strongest growers; large, hand- 

 some, reflexing flower, good pink color; magnificent foliage. 

 A variety that will undoubtedly be largely grown when better 

 known. First bud after August 15th. 



Dr. Erquhard. Pure, bright pink, shading to peachy pink at the 

 center. .Incurved, of great depth, well built, never shows an 

 eye. Growth strong and short, foliage well up to the flower, 

 a splendid keeper and shipper. 



Leila Filkins. A beautiful soft pink; clean, thrifty grower; a 

 greatly improved Morel; just as good a flower with none of the 

 difficulties of culture that V. Morel presents. A grand addi- 

 tion to the pink section. Any bud after August 15th. 



Maynell. Incurving crimson; splendid grower; stands feeding 

 as well as H. J. Jones. Buds from August 25th onward. If 

 taken much earlier shows a rather long neck. 



S. T. Wright. The king of the crimsons. The raisers state that 

 " placed in the sun it reflexes like an enormous cactus dahlia." 

 Mr. Pockett's very best, without a doubt. Crown bud late in 

 August. $1.00 each, $9.00 per dozen, $60.00 per 100. 



Henry Barnes. True Japanese; as deep in color as Black Hawk, 

 but very large flower; rather tall, but late planted stock will 

 give just as good results. Taken on the crown bud it is a 

 trifle weak in the neck. Crown bud August 20th onward. 



Mary Inglis. A terracotta monster, unique in its color, a grand 

 grower and invaluable to the exhibitor. If you want to enter 

 for the largest bloom in the show try Mary Inglis. Take bud 

 last week in August and feed well. 



Donald McLeod. An ideal grower. Color, yellow ground : heavily 

 striped and shaded crimson. Crown bud end of August. 



Harrison Dick. A red and yellow combination; autumn foliage 

 color perhaps expresses it best; a fine dwarf, sturdy grower 

 and an all-around good thing; grand as a 6-inch pot plant. 

 Bud August 20th onward. 



Cheltoni. This is a yellow sport from Nellie Pockett, and little 

 more need be said, for Nellie Pockett is one of the finest exhi- 

 bition varieties known. The color is a clear shining yellow. 

 Should be grown by everyone, for it is a lovely and artistic 

 variety. 75c. each, $7.50 per doz. 



Miss Mildred Ware. An immense flower, resembling nothing so 

 much as an improved Lady Anglesey. Stock was received 

 late this year and full justice could hardly be done the variety, 

 but we believe next year this will show as a record-breaker in 

 the Japanese. Crown bud middle of August onward. Stock 

 limited. $1.00 each, $9.00 per doz., $60.00 per 100. 



Ben Wells. Grand flower, 10 inches across, tremendous grower. 

 Voted all right by every expert who saw it growing and at the 

 exhibitions. Color, a very delicate flesh. A true Jap., with 

 foliage right up to the flower. Good habits and fine in every 

 way. Take bud end of August. 



Mrs. F. W. Vallis. An immense crimson shaded apricot yellow; 

 reflexing florets show its lovely color to the best advantage; 

 petals hang down 10 inches in length. As grown this year, it 

 showed a small eye, a defect that will, we think, be overcome 

 now that good stock can be had. Plant early. Crown bud, 

 August 10th onward. Stock limited. $1.00 each, $9.00 per 

 doz., $60.00 per 100. 



General Hutton. Yellow, shaded bronzy red; vigorous grower; 

 enormous 10-inch flower. Guard petals an inch wide. Indis- 

 pensable for the exhibitor. Bud August 15th onward. 



Mme. Cahuzac. An immense yellow, lightly shaded bronze, set 

 up in fine shape at New York. One of the best of the French 

 varieties. Crown bud end of August. 



Prices are 50c. per plant, $5.00 per doz., $35.00 per 100, except- 

 ing where specially priced. 



(Jew Chrysanthemums of 1903. 



Algoma. Japanese Incurved, producing heavy foliage close 

 under the flower, short, stiff stem. Color, a beautiful shade 

 of light rose, silvery reverse. 



Convention Hall. Color, white, of an exceedingly pure tone. 

 Very broad centre petals, incurving closely; tubular ray 

 florets. Winner of the $200 prize at Kansas City, 1901. It 

 is unquestionably the finest white 'that has been produced 

 for many years, none excepted. 



Ethelyn. A Japanese Incurved. Petals, light rose-pink at the 

 base, shading lighter at the tips. A very handsomely formed 

 flower, which is sure to become popular. 



Globosa Alba. A very compact, closely incurved Japanese, of 

 globular form, and pure white. It is so closely incurved that 

 properly speaking it belongs to the Chinese or Incurved type; 

 h l /i inches in diameter, 4 feet high. 



H. W. Buchbee. A bright yellow; habit dwarf, petals loosely 

 arranged. An excellent variety. Good keeper. 



Mrs. J. C. Mitchell. A large Japanese Incurved. Color, beauti- 

 ful, clear cream. The irregularity with which the petals 

 incurve and interlace makes it a very artistic flower. 



Lord Hopetown. A grand crimson, the finest ever introduced. 

 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 



Lord Salisbury. Yellow with light bronze markings. Long, 

 drooping petals. 



Mrs. Thirkell. A giant yellow. The sensational variety of the 



season. 



Miss Minnie Bailey. A seedling from Mrs. Perrin; good stem 

 and foliage, surpassing that variety in fullness, fully double 

 under all conditions. Color, bright pink. 



Mdlle. Marie Liger. This is the new French variety that won 

 the Chrysanthemum Society of America prize for the finest 

 seedling at the Paris Exposition. Closely incurving blooms 

 of large size. The color is pearl pink, deepening to a very 

 bright shade at the base of petals. 



F. S. Vallis. Immense Japanese flower, yellow, deepening to 

 citron. Long petals, twisting and reflexing into a broad, deep 

 bloom. 



W. R. Church. Japanese Incurved. Deep rosy-crimson with 

 bronze reverse and greenish-gold tips. The general effect is a 

 velvety claret-crimson. Massive flower; a great prize winner 

 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 



F. J. Taggart. The most striking novelty of recent years. The 

 best of all the hairy or plumed section. A great advance over 

 all the yellows in this class, being perfectly double and the 

 hair-like filaments are more pronounced. Color, light yellow. 

 Flowers, 8 inches in diameter. An exhibition variety of 

 exceptional merit. Price, 30c. each, $3.00 per doz. 



R. E. Richardson. (Schray's Pink.) The brightest, clearest 

 pink yet introduced in the Chrysanthemum family. Both 

 color and form are exquisite. Good stem and foliage. 



The Yellow Eaton, or Dr. Oronhyatekha. A bright yellow 

 " sport " from Timothy Eaton. It has the perfect habits of 

 Timothy Eaton, but lacks the coarseness sometimes attributed 

 to that variety. Splendid for every purpose. 



Sephia. Large Japanese Incurved. Style of flower and growth 

 similar to Mrs. Park, but has better stem with foliage close 

 to the bloom, and fully double under all conditions. Medium 

 shade of yellow similar to Col. D. Appleton. 



Henry Sinclair. A clear, bright, canary-yellow; a bold, hand- 

 some flower, 6 inches in diameter by 5 inches high. One of 

 the finest and most valuable early yeilows ever offered, every 

 stem producing a perfect flower. First-class certificate. 



Lady Hopetown. Beautiful heliotrope-pink, reverse of petals 

 silver, the flower recurving, showing both shades. 



Mrs. Harry Emmerton. Immense flower, fine yellow, grand 

 reflexing form, splendid exhibition variety. 



Godfrey's Masterpiece. Indian-red with rich golden-yellow 

 reverse, only the tips showing the latter color. 



Mme. Paolo Radaelli. Creamy-white, delicately flushed with 

 rose. Incurved, with broad whorling petals, the outer ones 

 reflexed. A beautiful and curious variety; slightly plumed. 



Mme. Rouyer. A noticeably beautiful flower of immense size. 

 Very large flowers, with broad curling petals; a bright shade 

 of pink. Habit dwarf and strong. 



Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100 except where 

 noted.
