PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.— SUPERIOR BULBS— WHOLESALE.

WHITE CALLAS. — DRY BULBS. 



(.Expected for shipment in September. A limited supply of Bermuda grown 

 Callas expected in August.) 

 The dry bulbs are superior for forcing purposes, as they come into 

 bloom quickly and require less room — making less foliage. Dry bulbs 

 planted in 4-inch pots will flower nearly twice as abundantly as plants 

 in 6-inch pots that have been kept growing or only semi-dormant.

LARGE IMPORTED CLUMPS SUITABLE FOR FORCING. 



(For Shipment in November.) 



Astilboides Floribunda. A great improvement. It is dwarfer in 

 habit, earlier and more profuse in bloom than Spiraea Japonica. 

 As a Florists' market plant, and for forcing for cut flowers, it is 

 unrivalled 



Japonica. The old favorite for winter forcing 



Gladstone. A new, large flowering Spiraea — an improvement over 

 all other white-flowering Spiraeas — and one of the most beautiful 

 winter and spring flowering pot plants grown; the immense trusses 

 of flowers are as white as snow, and are borne on erect, strong 

 stalks 18 inches high. Well-grown plants bear 25 to 40 of these 

 plume-like trusses, practically enveloping the plant with a feath- 

 ery foam
