_ THE CRIMSON RAMBLER.
ROSE, CRIMSON RAMBLER, GROWN AS A POT PLANT.
NEW HARDY VARIEGATED ROSE.
ROGER LAMBELIN.
(Greatly reduced in price for this season.)
One of the most remarkable Roses yet offered. The petals are irregular on the edges like a double Petunia; the color is glowing crimson throughout, except the edges of the petals, which are all distinctly marked with a white band, forming a sharp contrast and the most unique combination of colors known in Roses. The growth is free and vigorous and the fragrance is delight- ful, equal to the finest of the hardy Roses. This is a “‘novelty ” of the most strikin g order. (See cut.) Price, plants from 3-inch pots, $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
COMTESSE DE BRETEUIL.
A grand new Tea Rose of French origin that will be of great value for outdoor bedding from its fine growth and splendid flowers. It is of very vigorous growth, but dwarf and compact; flowers medium to large in size, with petals of good substance, Color salmon-rose, center bright rose, shaded with apricot; beautiful glo- bular buds and very fragrant. Price, plants from 3-inch pots, $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100.
THE MANY-COLORED ROSE, INCONSTANT BEAUTY.
Plant strong and vigorous, ) It is a true Tea Rose, conse- quently ever-blooming and deliciously fragrant. Price, plants from 3-inch pots, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.
The New Hardy Climbing Rose. Magnificent Trusses of Rich Crimson Flowers.
The new hardy Japanese climbing Rose, ‘“‘ Crimson Rambler,” is one that we offer to our customers, after a year’s trial, with greater confidence in its merits. It came to this country heralded as a wonder among flowers, but the most extravagant praises yet bestowed on it fall short of doing it ample justice. The judges at one of the principal flower shows in England, when awarding it a Gold Medal, the highest honor they could bestow, epitomized the views of all who had seen it when they said that the ordi- nary premiums reserved for new Roses of the highest grade were entirely inadequate to indicate the merits of the ‘‘Crimson Rambler.” At every exhibition throughout Great Britain where it was shown it received the highest honors, and this opinion was endorsed. The National Rose Society of England, the National Horticultural Society of France and the Interna- tional Exposition awarded Gold Medals to “‘ Crimson Rambler.”
It is of rapid, vigorous growth; plants in our grounds attained a height of fifteen feet the past season. The flowers are produced in trusses, pyra- midal in shape, good specimens measuring nine inches from base to tip, and seven inches across, fairly covering the plant from the ground to the top, so that it is one mass of glowing crimson. The color is superb, and remains strong and vivid to the end; plantsin our grounds retained the bloom for two months. The profusion of bloom is marvelous. A cor- respondent of the London Garden stated that on one shoot he counted over three hundred blooms. It is essentially a garden Rose, but makes a magnificent specimen in a pot or tub. It is adapted to the entire country, and should be in every garden in America,
PRICES :—Strong plants, from 3-inch pots, $1.50 per doz., $12.00 per 100. Strong plants from 2-inch pots, $1.25 per doz. ; $8.00 per 100.

the coloring deepens in some flowers to cherry red, and in others it lessens to light clear pink.
The profusion of bloom is wonderful, : the whole plant being a mass of flowers. No Rose can possibly excel this for outdoor bedding, and none can be more attractive. Itis compact and sturdy in habit, and so hardy for an ever- blooming Rose that it will remain out all winter safely with slight protection.

A Groene New Ever- blooming Rose, Princess Alice de Monaca (Weber).
A most charming new ever-blooming Rose, that must take prominence for summer bedding, as its habit is per- y fection, strong, upright growth, with clean, healthy foli- \ \ 1 age almost impervious to mildew. The flowers are pro- if «) duced in wonderful profusion on long straight shoots, are Uk © deliciously fragrant, large size, double to the center and of ES ~ é fine form, so that perfect flowers may be had during the : \ é : hottest summer days. The coloring is exquisite, a creamy white on the outside of the petals, with a faint rosy blush on the edges. As the flowers expand they disclose a charm- ing shade of opaline pink, deepening to rich blush. This rose must not be confounded with another of the same namefrom a French source. The Rose we offer was raised by Mr. Weber in the Duchess of Monaca’s gardens. whose Roses are famous throughout Europe. (See cut.) Price for this grand new Rose, strong plants from 3 in. pots, $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.

KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA.
<The Finest White Ever-Blooming Garden Rose. KAISERIN AUGUSTA VICTORIA.
A Hybrid Tea Rose, soft pearly white, lightly tinted with lemon in the center, just enough to relieve the white ; remarkably fragrant, a strong healthy grower, with bold beautiful foliage. The habit is free; the beau- tiful, perfectly shaped flowers are borne in profusion on long graceful stems, so that it will be invaluable for cut flowers. Professional florists have been quick to perceive the great value of this peerless variety, and it is now more eagerly sought after than almost any Rose on the market. Since we offered this variety for sale we have received hundreds of letters from all sections of the country praising it most highly and congratulating us upon our judgment as originally expressed. It is not entirely hardy in our northern latitudes. (See cut.) Price, strong plants from 3 in. pots, $6.00 per 100.
The New Changeable Tea Rose.

An Ever-blooming Rose of Rare Beauty.
GOLDEN GATE.

The flowers are large, very full, and finely formed, and of excellent substance ; the buds are long and of a most desirable form; the coloris rich creamy white, beautifully tinged with fine golden yellow; the petals are large and broad, and exquisitely bordered and tinted with clear rose, making altogether a Rose of rare beauty. Price, strong plants from 3 in. pots, $6.00 per 100; from 2 in. pots, up to April 1st, $4.00 per 100.
THE PEOPLE’S ROSE. DUCHESSE DE BRABANT.
In the desire to obtain new varieties of Roses, rosarians and dealers are too often prone to over- look old standard sorts which are unquestionably meritorious. Some sorts are too good to be crowded to the wall by new aspirants for honors, as witness the Gen. Jacqueminot, Marechal Niel, La France, Malmaison and many others, and to this class belongs the Duchesse de Brabant. Roses come and go, but these go on forever.
Duchesse de Brabant unites in a pronounced degree the highest attributes of a garden Rose ; it is vigorous, never fails to produce flowers, healthy, rarely diseased in any way, large full blossoms, beautiful in the bud or open flower, a beauti- ful shade of soft rosy flesh, deepening to warm pink and bright rose, delightfully fragrant. Price, strong plants from 3 in. pots, $6.00 per 100; from 2 inch pots, ready up to April 1st, $4.00 per 100.
THE “SENSATION” TEA ROSE.
= = CORINNAG SEs
The tints of color blended in the flowers of this beautiful Rose render it so attractive and distinct from all other Tea Roses that the blooms exhibited have created quite a sensation. They are flesh color, shaded with rose and suffused with tawny copper; large size, full and of excellent shape, very freely produced on strong stems. We feel assured that for decorative purposes, cutting or exhibition it is invaluable. The growth is vigor- ous, and for a Tea Rose the plant is very hardy. (See cut.) Price, strong plants from 3 in. pots, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.

be supplied after April 15th.
April 15th:
All grafted low on Brier stocks.
OR the second time we offer dormant Roses ; this is to satisfy a demand from many customers for plants that can be planted outside early in spring, before it is safe to set out plants that are growing in pots,
and consequently are in full leaf. The illustration shows the character of the plants we supply ; also the method of planting and pruning them after being planted. We can supply these from the time this catalogue is issued up to April 15th, after that time they can only be supplied from pots, at the prices quoted at the end of the list. If planted as shown in the illustration, these Roses, although grafted, will emit roots where the true Rose joins the Brier stock, and will eventually become established on their own roots. The great value of these grafted Roses lies in the fact that they produce better flowers and make stronger plants in a shorter period than those grown from cuttings; and the advantage is that having no soil on the roots and being dormant, they ure of little weight and can be sent cheaply by ex- press or freight. Procure them early and store in a cool place until the
ground is ready for them.

CLIMBING NIPHETOS.
A “sport” from the dwarf ‘‘ Niphetos.” It is a true climbing variety, having the same pure white, long-pointed buds as its parent, and is destined to become opular as an outdoor climbing Rose—in the South especially, where it is per- ectly hardy. Price, 3-inch pots, $12.00 per 100.
CLIMBING PERLE DES JARDINS.
This is a “‘sport”’ from ‘‘ Perle des Jardins,” having all the good qualities which made its parent famous. The ‘‘ Climbing Perle” is a most rampant run- ning Rose, For the South it will be particularly valuable, as it is entirely hardy there, while for the conservatory it is invaluable. Price, 3-inch pots, $6.00 per 100; 5-inch pots, $20.00 per 100.

8 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—WHOLESALE PLANT LIST.
AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII.
Sometimes: called “‘Boston Ivy” and “‘Japan Ivy.”
No picture can portray the beauty of this grand climbing plant. It is adapted to all situations, and transforms the humblest cot- tage. It is entirely hardy in the most exposed places, attaining a height of 20 to 30 feet in two or three years, clinging to stones, brick or wood-work with the greatest tenacity. It is a great pro- tection to houses, as the leaves lapping over each other like slates on a roof effectually prevent rain from penetrating the walls. For covering dead trees, gate posts, boundary walls, verandas, etc., it has no equal, while its rapid growth and tenacious cling- ing qualities make it a most desirable plant for staying up ter- races. In the summer the foliage is a rich shade of green, butin fallit assumes the most gorgeous tints of scarlet, crimson and orange, so dazzling as to be seen at a great distance. We sold over 50,0U0 plants of this the past season, a large proportion of which were used on churches and public buildings. Price, $10.00 per 100.
DOUBLE GOLDEN MARGUERITE,
(Anthemis Coronaria, fil. pl.)
Thousands of this valuable plant are now sold annually in the New York market, being so attractive when in bloom that it sells on sight. The flowers are clear golden yellow, it blooms without cessation the entire season; in winter as well as in summer it is ever covered with bloom. Each season’s experience with this grand plant more than confirms the high opinion formed of it when first sent out. $1.00 per doz.; $6.00 per 100.
ANEMONE WHIRLWIND.
; : : = A new semi-double form of Anemone Japonica Alba, which is = ——— supposed to be a cross between this beautiful variety and A. Japonica Rosea. In general style and habit it is identical with
SS ae | the white Anemone. It is of the same strong habit of growth, FW JAPA ESE APLE-LE VEN BUTILO | and is even more free-flowering than the original type. The e flowers, which are 21g to 3 inches across, have several rows of
| pure white petals, and have the advantage of lasting much longer (SOUVENIR DE BONN.) than the single varieties. We consider this a good acquisition, and cannot recomniend it too highly. (See cut.) Price, $1.25 per doz.: $8.00 per 100.
The above illustration was made from a plant in our grounds.
This is a strong rivaltoa Japanese maple; in fact, at first glance, it might be mistaken for one. For massing in groups or in long borders for single specimens, either in the garden or greenhouse, for any and all decorative purposes, it cannot be surpassed. It is a moststriking decora- tive foliage plant, with beautifully variegated leaves of good size, regularly and evenly marked with white and green. Amid these leaves the gracefully drooping orange-colored flowers are produced in great abundance, forming a clear and brilliant contrast. (See cut.) Price, $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100.
A grand contrast te this is STROBILANTHES offered tn page 21. ACALYPHA MOSAICA.
A beautiful variegated foliage bedding plant, much richer in color than the finest Coleus; it can be used in the same way, and is certain to become popular for ornamental and subtropical bedding. $1.50 per doz.; $8.00 per 100.
ASPARAGUS PLUMOSUS NANUS.
One of the handsomest of our foliage plants. The leaves are a bright green, are gracefully arched; and are as finely woven as the finest silken mesh; their lasting qualities, when cut, are remarkable, retaining their freshness for weeks, hence it ranks as the most valuable plant we have for this purpose, surpassing Maiden Hair Ferns in grace, fineness of texture and richness of color. Strong plants, from 2-inch pots, $6.00 per 100; from 3-inch pots, $8.00 per 100.
ASPARAGUS TENUISSIMUS.
Very fine filmy foliage. A handsome climbing plant for the window and a very useful pot plant. $1.00 per doz.; $6.00 per 100.
ASPARAGUS SCANDENS DEFLEXUS.
A very pretty variety with glaucous green foliage of a drooping habit. Very ornamental for a hanging basket in conservatory, when covered with its brilliant red fruit. Strong plants, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.
AMARYLLIS.
Beautiful flowering bulbs, which should find a place in every garden. They force readily, are admirable for pot culture, and by proper care can be had in bloom during the whole year.
Formosissima (Jacobean Lily). Crimson, blooming early in the summer. $3.00 per doz.; $12.00 per 100.
Hybrids of Vittata, Red and white striped. $5.00 per doz.; $40.00 "perz100.
Johnsoni. Very large flower of a rich crimson scarlet color, striped with white. $3.00 per doz.; $20.00 per 100.

AZALEA INDICA.
Bougainvillea Sanderiana.
‘““We have grown this new Bougainvillea in a greenhouse, where it has continued flowering for seven months, small and large plants alike being covered with blossoms. Even plants in thumb- pots were laden with bloom. The house in which our plants have been cultivated has been a sheet of flowers from May until Decem- ber, and at the time of writing (December 30th), the plants are carrying thousands of their bril- liant blossoms. -Many excellent judges state that this will be a favorite market plant, as it pro- duces as freely as a Fuchsia its dazzling rosy crimson flowers, last- ing so long in perfection, and produced in smallest pots, under all conditions, in amazing pro- fusion. We can with all confi- dence recommend this grand plant as a great acquisition.”— (Introducer's description.) Price, $3.00 per doz., $20.00 per 100.
TUBEROUS All Selected Bulbs.
These are now the most popular plants for beds of summer flowers, or as pot plants for the greenhouse, conservatory or sitting-room. Our bulbs are all sound, well matured and of good size. For a time it was generally supposed that these could not be grown in the open air with success, but extensive plantings of them in various sections of the country have demonstrated their adaptability for this purpose. Nothing can exceed the brilliancy of their colors, the delicacy of their tints, the richness of their waxy flowers, the gorgeousness of their effect in masses, or their graceful appearance in beds or borders. From the time the first blossom appears until all growth is stopped by frost, they are never out of bloom. (See cut.)

AZALEA INDICA.
For Easter Forcing.
We offer a very fine lot of Azaleas, comprising the most distinct and best varieties in cultivation, embracing all shades of crimson, white, pink and rose color. They are shapely specimens, well ‘‘ headed” double and single flowered and will make splendid plants for Easter decoration. It is almost impossible to ship Azaleas when in bloom and have them arrive in good condition, hence the necessity of procuring them in advance before the buds open. Order Early.
These Azaleas have been grown especially for us by the largest grower in Belgium, and the greatest care has been taken to ensure plants well set with buds, carefully selected varieties that will be certain to please, and compact, shapely plants. By special arrangement we are enabled to offer this grand stock at the following very low rates. Vote the sizes.

“Araucaria Excelsa. (Norfolk Island Pine.)
Various names have been sug- gested for this grand plant to properly convey to the mind the appearance of it. Some have called it the ‘‘ Christmas Tree Palm” from its resemblance toa Christmas tree ; others have called it the ‘‘ Star Palm,’ because the leaves are arranged to form a
_ perfect star, but no descriptive name can give any adequate idea of its beauty. It has deep green, feathery foliage, arranged in whorls, rising one above the other at regular distances ; its symmetry of form, grace and beauty of foliage are unequaled in the vege- table kingdom. It is easily grown in the house and is highly orna- mental. (See cut.) Extra fine plants, 20 to 24 inches high, 4 to 5 tiers, $2.50 each; 15 to 18 inches high, $1.50 each ; 12 to 15 inches

‘The Queen of Gilt Edge Cannas,
VEEN CHARLOTTE.
A grand, large-flowered, ever-blooming French Canna, with a distinct golden belt around each petal, the center brilliant orange scarlet, with crimson tones.
When seen in groups the brilliancy of ‘‘Queen Char- lotte” dazzles the eye with its brilliant scarlet crim- son, massy gold and rich orange scarlet, separate and distinct, yet blended as only Nature can blend and harmonize in her own workshop and in her own way.
The plantis sturdy and compact, the blossoms stand well above the handsome Musa-like green foliage, yet not too high ; each main flower shoot is succeeded by many side shoots, thus insuring an unbroken succes- sion of flowers. The individual flowers are very large, stout and densely set, but not so as to appear crowded, the whole forming a perfect bouquet, and admirably adapted to resist our summer winds. (See aie Z /

New Peachblow Canna. (Alba Rose" Grandiflora.) The most distinct
variety of Canna known at the present time. The sheath which incloses the flower is light bronze, the stem deep bronze ; the opening flower protruding shows a point of bright yellow, very pretty and distinct. Itis in the fully expanded flower, however, that the great beauty isshown. The base of the petals is rich, deep rose, tinting upwards through light rose into flesh pink, until the color merges imperceptibly into creamy white, fully one- half the flower being the latter color—the general effect reminding one of the coloring in the celebrated ‘‘ Peachblow Vase.” The flowers are held at right angles from the stem, not crowded, so that each is distinct and the effect is very graceful. The foliage is dark green; height, 5 feet. Price, $2.00 per doz., $15.00 per 100,
New Crimson Canna, Columbia. A bright crimson with very deep orange crimson © : markings; the habit of the plant is strong, of symmetrical growth, about 4 feet high, with rich deep green foliage. Price, $5.00 per doz., $40.00 per 100.

6 6 e 9 e Malmaison” Carnation.
A wonderful Carnation, which for the past few years has been the most fashionable flower for the button-hole, corsage bouquets, table decoration, etc.,in London. Thousands are grown for that market annually and are in such demand that the cut flowers frequently sell at the rate of $5.00 per dozen, wholesale. It is unequaled for size, measuring four inches across, and is a beautiful shade of blush, similar to the Malmaison Rose. Visitors abroad have marveled much about this wonderful Carnation, and we have had numerous inquiries for plants from customers in every section of the country. To satisfy this demand we have imported a fine lot of young plants for this season from the leading London grower. The fragrance of the ‘‘ Malmaison” is exquisite, being the most delicious of all Carnations. Price, strong imported plants, $1.50 per doz.: $12.00 per 100. ;
Daybreak.
Too much cannot be said in praise of this grand Carnation. The color is exquisite, a charming shade of flesh pink. It was this del cate shade which suggested its name of ‘‘ Daybreak,’’ because of the similarity to the first faint tinge of pink seen in the eastern sky at sunrise. The growth of the plant is vigorous and healthy, and the flowers possess the Carnation frag- rance in amarked degree. (See cut.) Price, plants from 2 in. pots, $4 per 100.
Marguerite Monthly Carnations.
A new race of monthly Carnatious which are of the greatest value for summer blooming. They bloom in lavish profusion the whole summer long. These have been brought to such perfection by crossing and careful selection that the flowers are mostly all double; they are all elegantly fringed and deliciously fragrant. The range of colors and shades, the variation and diversity of markings, surpass anything as yet known in Carnations: all colors belonging to the family are represented, and combinations of these have developed new shades. The plants are all grown from selected seed. Price,
$4.00 per 100. 4 Hardy Garden Carnations.
Every color known in Carnations is represented—white, crimson, scarlet, orange, maroon, yellow, striped, speckled, etc.; but although all these colors and numerous shades not mentioned are to be found in them, yet having been grown from mixed seed we cannot supply any special color. Strong, healthy plants from open ground. Price, $4.00 per 100.

We devote special effort to the cultivation of the Double Petunia; we spare no pains or expense to obtain the best results, and as a consequence we succeed annu- ally in raising a succession of fine varieties; but in the long list of grand sorts which we have raised not one can approach this. Double White Petunias are always scarce ; it is no exaggeration to say that in the past twenty years we have grown over a million seedlings, and not one was the equal of this. The illustration, which is about two-thirds natural size, gives a good idea of its perfection of form and purity of color. We have named it in honor of the ‘‘ White Beauty,”’ which so successfully defended the “‘ blue ribbon of the seas,’’ and it is well worthy of the title. It will, we believe, successfully defend its claim to be the best Double White Petunia ever raised. Price, $2.00 per doz., $12.00 per 100.
