The Unequaled Advantages % ry,

SAVE MONEY BY PLACING YOUR ORDERS WITH US.

In soliciting your orders, we first of all desire to acknowledge our full appreciation of the very generous isons, and to draw the attention of those who have not before dealt with us to the —

patronage given us in past sez following advantages we possess as growers and dealers : . EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN.—The fact that we can supply every want of the EAP cultivator in Seeds, Plants, Bulbs, Garden Tools, Fertilizers, and all needed articles for the Green-_ : house and Garden, enables patrons to have ali their goods shipped in one package, or at least at one time, | thus saving largely in express or freight charges. ; “igh % PLANT DEPARTMENT .— 0ur greenhouses and frames cover nearly four and one-half acres — ; solid in glass, unquestionably the most extensive on this Continent. These structures are so arranged that they ‘ can be graded to any temperature, so that the most perfect health and vigor is given to the plants, and with such unequaled facilities for their production, it will be quickly seen that we can compete with any in the matter of ti

prices, quality of stock considered. OUR GUARANTEE. We guarantee the safe arrival of all goods forwarded by express, and all. % packing is free of charge. ; So ORDERS FILLED PROMPTLY,.—Except in rare cases, all orders for Seeds and Plants are forwarded the day after they are received by us or a reason given why they are not sent. We have reason to know. that our promptness in this respect is fully appreciated. ; i : PREMIUMS.— In offering our various Books on gardening, as premiums on orders, we make (see as page 3 of cover) practically an average discount of 10 per cent. from the prices named in this List, and this — should always be remembered if a comparison of prices is made. In this connection, we may be pardoned if we digress far enough to say that it is a great satisfaction for usto know that the books referred to, written by the late Mr. Peter Henderson, have not orly enabled many amateurs to practice successfuliy in the field of Horticulture, but that his works have also been the direct means of causing thousands to embark as market gar- deners and florists, and in thus opening up and pointing the way to successful culture, we are justified in claim- llions of dollars to the wealth of the nation.

2 PETER IIENDERSON & CO’S QUARTERLY TRADE LIST OF PLANTS.

AMPELOPSIS VEITCHII.

(Sometimes called ‘“ Boston Ivy’ and * Japan Ivy.’’) No picture can portray the beauty of this grand climbing plant. As an important aid to architectural beauty in its rapidly attain- ing prominence, being now a feature on the finest houses—notably the palatial residence corner of 57th Street and 5th Avenue, New York City. Another fine example of it is seen on Grace Church, in New York, while on Commonwealth Avenue, in Boston, there are hundreds of the finest houses covered with it from foundation to roof. It is adapted to all situations, and trans- forms the humblest cottage. 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 protection to houses, as the leaves lapping over each other like slates on a roof effectually prevents rain from pene- trating the walls. For covering dead trees. gate posts, boun- dary walls. verandas, etc., it has no equal, while its rapid growth If = and tenacious clinging qualities make it a most desirable plant for Gore 18g5 ge : staying up terraces. Inthe summer the foliage is a rich shade of PF PeteR HENNERSON BOS green, but in the fall it assumes the most gorgeons tints of scarlet, crimson and orange, so dazzling as to be seen at a great distance. We sold over 50.000 plants of this and A. Royali the past season, a large proportion of which were used on churches and public buildings. PRICE, plants from 3 in. pots, 2 to 3 feet long, $7.00 per 100; $60.00 per 1,000. Extra strong plants from 4in. pots, $10.00 per 100 ; $90.00 per 1,000.

AMPELOPSIS ROYALII,.

This is yet quite scarce, being a comparatively new variety. It is identical with A, Veitchii as regards its climbing properties, but it isa larger and stronger growing plant. The foliage even in summer is richly tinted crimson, and in autumn it is perfectly gorgeous in its flame-colored foliage. It is, in our opinion, by far the most valuable of the two varieties. Although comparatively scarce, we have a large stock of it, and place it at the same price as the older sort, which see above.

DOUBLE GOLDEN MARGUERITE.

(Anthemis Coronaria, fl. pl.) (Ready Sept. 15th.)

Thousands of this valuable plant are now sold annually ia the New York market, being so at- tractive when in bloom thatit 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.

We offer 12 varieties in each size.

Azalea Indica Alba.—Pure white, one of the best for general use. 3 in. pots, $1.50 per doz. ; $10.00 per 100.

Azalea ‘‘Deutsche Perle.’’—(Ready Noy. 15th,) Unquestionably the finest double white forcing variety. Price, plants, from 6 in. pots, $9.00 per doz.; second size, $5.00 per doz.

American Flag. The best striped carnation as yet introduced. The flowers of this fine variety brought on an average 25 per cent. more than any other carnation in the New York market last winter. $20.00 per 100.

Crimson King. Dark crimson. One of the best inits color. $12.00 per 100.

HENDERSON’S HOLLYHOCKS. “New Double Strain.”

We have given the above name to a grand collection of Hollyhocks which we have produced after years of careful selection. These varieties are remarkable for their perfect double flowers, large size, brilliancy and variety of colors. They are now much used in summer for cut flower work, par- ticularly the double white.

Hollyhocks are among the finest permanent garden plants, as, being entirely hardy in most places and free growing, they make a grand display with little or no care. Our collec- tion contains all the colors named, but as they are grown from seed an occasional departure from these shades may be expect- ed. For the same reason a small percentage may be single or Be = semi-double. We offer them in the following shades which ast ma are the leading colors grown: double white, double |AGaAXS¢ yellow, double pink, double crimson, double sal- 'mon, double variegated, and double maroon. These if planted in cold frames this fall will make fine plants for next season’s bloom. Price for the above varieties, plants from 2 in. pots, well established, $4.00 per 100; all colors mixed, $3.00 per 100.

Patent Ventilated and Perfect Droinage Bottom.

Awarded THE ONLY FIRST-CLASS CERTIFICATE OF MERIT, for Standard Flower Pots, by the Society of American Florists, at Boston, Mass., August 21st, 1890

These Pots are all ‘‘STANDARD” shapes and sizes, the

same as adopted and recommended by the Society of American

ep \SSS

Florists, and are far superior to any other FLOWER POTS. By the use of the EXCELSIOR FLOWER POTS the

danger of OVER-WATERING is avoided. OVER-WATERING and the want of PROPER VEN-

TILATION causes the soil in and underneath the Pots to

become sour, and the roots to decay. Many valuable plants. are lost in this way.

A FEW TESTIMONIALS ABOUT OUR PANSIES.

The Butterfly Pansy, the seeds of which we received from you, are now perfectly gor- cous.—Mary C. CaswE ti, Concord, N. H.

I have a bed of Pansies raised from your ‘‘ Butterfly ’’ seed which is the wonder and ad- niration of all who see it.—Mrs. RacHEL HArVEy, Swifts City, Ind.

My Butterfly Pansies are grand. In the spring when I set out pansies people think I am pansy crazy ; but when they are in bloom, every one who sees them gets as crazy as I— Mary J. Brown. Battle Creek, Mich.

Cuas. W. Hitcesranp, Grower of Cut Flowers, Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 20th, 1889, writes, ‘‘ Every flower came up to the description ; nothing like them was ever seen in this neighborhood before. Their wonderful markings are more beautiful than words can de- scribe. They seem to me like the beautiful things, of which we heard in our childhood, FANCY PANSY. but never expected to see.”’
