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



NEW YELLOW PARIS DAISY. 



Chrysanthemum Frutescens Hallerii Aurea. A very valuable 

 plant for florists' trade, a true yellow Marguerite and. indis- 

 putably the best by every standard of comparison which 

 we have yet seen. The flowers are very large, a pure 

 yellow, no tendency to take on smut " so fatal to 

 others of the same color. This must become one 

 of our standard flowering plants for the green- 

 house and conservatory, also for market in the 

 spring. Price, 75c. per doz.; $6.00 per 100. 



NEW GLOXINIAS. 



We offer a very handsome erect flowering strain 

 of these, all sound flowering bulbs. Mixed colors, 

 $5.00 per 100. Separate colors, white, violet, pink, 



striped, etc., $8.00 per 100. ^' 



"PANSY" GERANIUMS. 



" THE WEDDING SET." 



We take pleasure in being able to offer plants of 

 these very useful Pelargoniums. There is nothing 

 that gives better returns for a little care, when 

 grown in the window garden, than these; literally 

 covered with flowers and frequently remain in 

 bloom nearly all summer ; low, spreading habit 

 and very easily grown.

The Novelty 



of the Year. 



The Bride. Large flowers, 

 carmine, feathered white, 

 suffused blush. 



Bridesmaid Upper petals maroon, lower ones 

 clear white ; this variety is shown in cut below. 

 An exceedingly pretty variety.

 petals, with dark blotches. 



Price, 20C. each; $2.00 per doz. ; $12.00 per 100. 



The " Wedding Set " of 3 for 50c. 



GERANIUM MADAME BRUANT. 



A grand variety wholly distinct from any other in cultivation. White, 

 veined with carmine lake, florets regularly bordered with bright solferino, 

 the arrangement of color, is exquisite, often intermingling and producing 

 a striped effect ; the trusses are large and beautifully formed ; the plant is 

 a good healthy grower and very free flowering. Everything considered, 

 this is the most distinct and wonderfully colored variety ever sent out, and 

 certainly the finest plant novelty of the year. 



Price, 15c. each; $1.50 per doz,; $10.00 per 100. 



GERANIUM COLUMBIA. 



A fitting companion to the above but a striking contrast. A light, high 

 scarlet of dazzling brightness, two upper petals white shading to scarlet on 

 the edges, extremely showy. Very valuable on account of its bedding 

 qualities ; does not lose its color in brightest sunshine. 



Price, 15c. each ; $1.50 per doz., $10.00 per 100. 



NEW GIANT FLOWERING HELIOTROPE. 



Efforts to improve the Heliotrope have been persistently made by experts 

 all over the world for a number of years, and at last these efforts have been 

 successful; realization has surpassed the most ardent expectation. One can 

 scarcely recognize the old garden favorite in its new glorified form. The 

 size of the foliage and its quality is doubled; the habit of the plant is made 

 compact and bushy instead of being scraggy and sprawling; the size of the 

 flowers is magnified beyond belief, specimen heads measuring ten to fifteen 

 inches across; the color is better. (See cut.) Price, 75c. per doz. ; $6.00 per 100. 



Note. — We can supply the ordinary Heliotropes, all fine sorts, fragrant, 

 blue, lavender and white, at 50c. per doz.; $4.00 per 100. 



DOUBLE HOLLYHOCKS.

 of these, and have for years selected those that show the most perfect form, 

 largest size and purest colors. We offer the following colors: Lavender, 

 Blush, Light Apricot, White and Violet centre. Purple, Crimson, 

 Pink. White, Yellow, Salmon, Maroon, Deep Rose. Young plants 

 from pots $6.00 per 100.
