Please Read this carefully before Ordering.
~ | BB Many of the plants we now offer have been grown by the new “moss mulching” system, which, we believe, we have been the first to introduce in Commercial Floriculture. he benefit of this will be apparent to every practical Horticulturist in the extraordinary health and vigor of the plants ; and, as any plant by this method can be grown to as great a size in a 3-inch pot as tt can be without tt in a 4-inch, it will at once be seen its great advantage in lessening weight of stock, and, hence, Saving expressage. J
__ Parties ordering will please make out their order, if for Plants, on Order Sheet for Plants; if for Seeds, or Florists Requisites, on Order Sheet for Seeds, ete. Though, when so desired, they may be sent in the same package.
The plants named are offered at the rates quoted, provided that not less than FIVE of each elass or variety is taken. Vo order will be filled from plant list in less amounts than six dollars.
The varieties must be our own selection of sorts ; for example, if twelve different kinds of Roses or Geraniums are ordered, we send twelve distinct sorts, but cannot afford the time (at these low rates) to select special kinds named by the buyer. Any one wanting varieties of special kinds, can order from our Descriptive Catalogue, but at retail rates, from which we allow a discount of one-third. However, in ordering from this wholesale list, we give the buyer the privilege of naming sorts he don’t want us to send.
Plants may be safely shipped to all parts of the country,
AT ALL SEASONS OF THE YEAR.
As our system of packing is so complete that, although we send out thousands of packages during the coldest days in winter, we rarely have a case injured when sent by express.
All goods are sent by express, unless specially ordered otherwise.
To places where there are no express offices, we will send all plants named in this list by mail, at an advance of one-third on the prices named ; thus, if 100 plants, costing $6, are wanted, we will send them for $8, prepaid, by mail; but again advise, that whenever it is possible, to have plants sent by express, as it is the best mode, and our light system of pack— ing makes the charges comparatively low.
No Charge for Boxes, Baskets, or Packing.
’ Orders from unknown correspondents, unless accompanied by a remittance or satisfactory city re- erence, will be sent by express, C. O. D. We make no deviation from this rule.
Remittances made in the form of Draft, Registered Letter, or Post-office Order, at our risk. Bills sent in Letters unregistered, entirely at the risk of the sender.
All purchasers of $20 worth, in one order, are entitled to a Premium of $1.50, which will be sent either in additional Plants or Seeds, or in either of Peter Henderson’s works, “Gardening for-Profit,” “ Practical Floriculture,” or “Gardening for Pleasure,” as desired, or if $40 worth, ‘‘ Henderson’s Handbook of Plants,” value $3.
Gardening for Profit gives, in comprehensive detail, our twenty-five years experience in MARKET GARDENING.
Practical Floriculture (new edition) gives, up to date, our whole experience in the PROPAGATION AND GROWING OF PLANTS during the past thirty years.
Gardening for Pleasure is a concise compendium, giving plain details for the Culture of FRUITS, FLOWERS and VEGETABLES, and GENERAL GARDENING, for the use of Amateur Cultivators.
Henderson’s Handbook of Plants is a condensed encyclopedia of over 400 pages, giving Botanical Classification, Propagation and Culture of nearly every known Plant in cultivation, ornamental or useful, up to the present time.
Persons wishing to examine stock should call at our Seed Store, 35 Cortlandt Street, New York, where a card with directions will be given to reach the Green houses at Jersey ae Heights. Time from Seed Store, 30 minutes by steam cars, or 40 minutes by horse cars. may here say, that parties wishing to see me personally, will find me at the Green-houses until 12 M., and at my office in New York, from 1.30 to 3 P. M.

We believe we were the first to offer this valuable climbing plant, either here or in Enrope. Mr. Thos. Hogg describes it as clinging to trees to the height of fifty feet, producing corymbs of white flowers of the size of ordinary Hydrangeas.

New Scarlet Carnation “ Firebrand.” We have long needed a carnation of intense scarlet color, large size, and at the same time free flowering qualities.

It is a very profuse bloomer, and is an unusually strong healthy grower. This variety is now generally known about New York, where the leading cut flower growers are preparing to grow it largely.

Campanula Calycanthema Rosea, * Pink Canterbury Gell,”
One of the most beautiful sights we saw in England last summer was a large bed of this peerless variety, its brilliant pink bells rendering the plant a striking object hundreds of feet away. The class C. Medea Calycanthema, to which this variety belongs, is anew form of the old Canterbury Bells (distinguished by the calyx forming a cup around the base of bell or corolla), Of this form we already have a blue and white variety, now largely grown, and we are sure that this Pink Canterbury Bell, if it may be so called, being so much more beautiful, will come into even greater demand, (See

New Giant Perfection, Ten Weeks’ Stock.
The persistent efforts of German growers to improve this most important annual finds one of its best results in this splendid new race. The plants of the New Giant Perfection are pyramidal in shape, 24 feet high, and producing long spikes of double flowers, much larger and finer than the ordi. nary Ten Weeks’ Stock, Seed in mixed colors per pkt. .15
Double Stock Flowered Tall Larkspur, :
“Lustrous Carmine,”
This is the name given to a very striking, new variety of the finest sort we think yet introduced. Its
color is a fiery or lustrous carmine, and bedded out, produces a most brilliant effect. Per pkt ............... cid oisalls
Larkspur ;
New Dwart Marvel of Peru.
A new Dwarf White Marvel of Peru, in every way desir-
able. Fully developed plants of this novelty are never more _ than 10 inches in height, completely studded with snow-white flowers contrasting finely with its yellowish foliage. The in- troducer says that it comes entirely true from seed, and we have no doubt will be found most useful for ribbon line gardening. Per pkt........ ceva vererrrrcevensecs sd
New Double Flowering Gaillardia, (Gaillardia Picta Lorenziana.)
Our illustration above conveys a true idea of this remark~ able novelty, probably the best and certainly the most distinct new thing offered this year. Ina strict botanical sense, it is not double, but it is so entirely different from the old single Gaillardia, that the blooms would scarcely be recognized as
belonging to the same species. The colors offered (in mix-
ture) are sulphur and golden yellow, orange, claret and amaranth, and are produced quite as freely as any of the older sorts. Per pkt...,. SV IE POC LOCO SOUS. woe ote ve. 35
' Mignonette, “Golden Queen.”
This new variety was one of the grandest novelties in our grounds last season. It could be distinguished from all other Mignonettes as far as the bed could be seen, and was literally
a mass of fragrant gold, Per pkt......... a chelt se cites 15
New Mignonettie. (Reseda Odorata Compacta Glauca.)
A new sort which forms a circular bush eighteen inches in diameter, and not more than nine inches in height; its fra- grant blooms are of a shade entirely distinct in Mignonette, being what might be called a glaucous shade of lilac. One
of the best new things we have ever met with. Per Pkt. 15
Gloxinia.
‘tT have seen a collection of Gloxinia produced from seed obtained from your establishment by Mr. Thomas Davidson of this city, which are the most beautiful imaginable, both in ose. and variety."—Thomas Beckett, M. D., Albany,

TUR: Primula, (Chinese Primrose.)
Our Primulas are from the finest existing strains, In the Fimbriata sorts the flowers are beautifully fringed, as are the Filicifolia class also, but the latter have added beauty in their Fern-like foliage. Following the English practice, it is usually advised to sow Primula seeds in July and August, but in our hot, dry climate it is very difficult to have them germinate at that season; so, in our own experience, we have found that the best time to sow is in February, March or April. Then sown, the seed germinates freely, and fine plants can be had for winter flowering, The great perfec- tion to which Primulas have been brought renders them in attractiveness and value scarcely equaled by any class of
plants. (See cut.) Trade pkt. Very choice mixed

PETUNIA, New Dwarf Inimitable, (P. Hybrida Nana Compacta Multifiora.)
A novelty worthy of general attention; inasmuch as it adds to our gardens a Petunia which is really dwarf. It forms a compact plant from § to 8 inches high, by as much in dija- meter, and thickly covered with cherry-red flowers, each of which is marked by a white star; occasionally a few seed- lings will appear, whose blooms will be of another hue, This Petunia will be very effective for massing, and admir- ably adapted for pot culture. It will be found, also, a valu- able sort for market culture, from its dwarf habit.
Per trade pkt. $1 00.
New Fancy Hybrid.
An entirely distinct strain from the ordinary Petunia, The flowers are of immense size and of exquisite colors, shades, and markings, The double and single Fimbriata sorts have beautifully fringed petals, The double and single “ Marginata’’ sort are bordered with green on each petal, making them very attractive.
It is, perhaps, not generally understood that the seeds of double Petunias are only obtained by artificially fecundating single blooms with the pollen from the double, making the seed necessarily high priced, and the progeny cannot be ex- pected to all come double, The finest double Petunias are always grown from seed; when propagated by cuttings they degenerate rapidly.—(See full page illustration.)

A beautiful and distinet variety of Bush Bean, of recent introduction. It produces pods of fair size, of exceed- ingly rich and tender flavor; in color waxy white, and almost as transparent as glass. It is a stringless variety, very productive, and the pods, though quick to develop, are slow to harden, and thus retain their tenderness on the bush for a long time.
25 cts. per quart, $1.75 per peck. (If by mail, add 30 cts. per quart for postage.)
BEAN. Gallega (Or Large Refugee.)
For many years the well-known Refugee Bush Bean has been a standard sort, whether grown for market or for private use. This variety Gallega (or as we should prefer to call it, Large Refugee) is an improved form of the parent variety, being not only much more prolific. but both pods and beans are much larger in size than in the old sort.
20 cts. per qt.; $1.25 per pk. (Tf by mail, add 30 cts, per quart for postage.)
CORN. Squantum Sugar.
A variety of Corn in great favor with the well-known Squantum Club, of Silver Spring, R. I., and used almost exclusively by them in their famous clambakes It is about as early as the Moore’s Concord, the ears being the same size. Its quality is of the best. Very sweet, and wonderfully productive, producing 4 to 5 ears on a stalk.

CABBAGE. Early Jersey Wakefield.
This variety (shown above) was orig]nated over 35 years ago by one of our New Jersey market gardeners, who held almost a monopoly of it until our work ‘‘ Gar- dening for Profit” was published in 1866. From that time it has been diffused over every part of the Union, and in nearly every section is classed as being the best Early Cabbage in cultivation. The stock we offer is
grown by one of the original cultivators of it, and itis undoubtedly one of the best strains existing. (See Special Prizes for best Vegetables page 25.)

Henderson’s Early Summer Cabbage.
Although it is only seven years since we first dissem- inated this variety, its value has been so quickly dis- covered, that it is now to be found in almost every seedsman’s catalogue in the country. It is about ten days later than the Wakefield, but, being of fully double the size, it may be classed as the best Large Early Cab- bage; in weight it is equal to most of the late varieties, and its short outer leaves enable it to be planted nearly as close as the Wakefield—about 12,000 to the acre— while ‘‘ Flat Dutch,” “ Winningstadt,” ete., producing no larger heads, can only properly be grown at the rate of 8,000 to the acre. Another excellent quality of the Early Summer is that it keeps longer without bursting open after heading than any variety we know of.
We would caution, however, our customers who intend to grow it in cold frames (to winter over) to sow it at least ten days later than the Wakefield, or other early varieties, as it has some tendency to run to seed if sown at the dates suitable for these. In this latitude we sow Early Summer on the 25th of September.
To those who do not intend to keep it in cold frames, we would suggest to sow it in hot bed or greenhouse. about February Ist, in the usual manner, and when of suitable size, prick off, or replant, at about two inches apart in hot-bed, or in shallow boxes if in greenhouse. Treated in this manner, quite as good plants can be made of this, or any other Cabbage, as if wintered oyer in eold frames, and in this way they will not run to seed.

Henderson’s Early Snowball Cauli- flower.
With the exception, perhaps, of our Harly Summer Cabbage, no new thing in either seeds or plants that we have ever offered has given such general satisfaction as this Early Snowball Cauliflower. Ji is the earliest of all Cauli- flowers. Sown at same time and under same conditions with ten other kinds, on the first of March, last year, we had heads of the Early Snowball, measuring nine inches in diameter, ready by 10th June—about one week earlier than any other sort. Besides, of this variety, every plant formed a fine head; in addition to its earliness and greater certainty to head than any other sort, its dwarf habit and short outer leaves allow it to be planted as close as 18 or 20 inches apart each way, so that from 12,000 to 14,000 can be set out on an acre.
For forcing under glass during winter and spring, this Snowball variety is peculiarly well adapted from its dwarf growth and short outer leaves, and for this purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely grown.
It may be added that this variety does equally well for late planting.

PETER HENDERSON & CO.’S VEGBTABLE NOVELTIES. 21
CELERY, Golden Dwarf.
A very distinct variety, which originated near Newark, N. J., and which is undoubtedly of great value, as shown by the fact that, although of only very recent origin, itis already largely grown around that locality, for both the markets of Newark and New York. In size and habit of growth it is much the same as the Half Dwarf White kinds, except that when blanched the heart, which is large and full, is of a waxy, golden yellow, rendering it a most striking and showy variety, for either market or private use. Itis entirely solid, and of most excellent flavcr, and one of the best keepers during winter we have ever known.
60c. per oz ;
CELERY, Henderson’s Half Dwarf.
This variety is now grown more extensively than any other by the Market Gardeners who supply the New York City Markets, and is the kind now found on the tables of all first-class hotels. When blanched it is of a yellowish white, making it very ornamental for the table, is entirely solid, possessing the nutty flavor pecu- liar to the dwarf kinds, whileit has much more vigor of growth, surpassing most of the large-growing sorts in weight of bunch when grown under the same condi- tions.
50 cts. per Oz. ;
CELERY, London Red.
We have tried to impress upon our customers, for years, the superiority of the Red Celery over the White. Not only that, as a rule, they are better flavored and more crisp, but that they are hardier and keep better during winter. The variety London Red is one of the best we have ever seen, haying every requisite good quality.
50c. peroz.; $1.50perilb.; $5.00 per lb.
CELERY, White Walnut.
We secured twenty different kinds of Celery last sea- son, and tested them in our Trial Grounds. Out of the entire lot we selected this one as the best. It is of dwarf habit, seldom atiaining a height of more than 20 inches. It is solid and heavy, and has a peculiar rich walnut-like flavor. A novel and valuable quality of this variety is its graceful and feather-like foliage, which, when blanched, makes it the most beautiful of all Celery for the table.
60c. per oz.; $2.25 per + 1b.; $8.00 per lb.
NEW LETTUCE, Salamander.
The culture of this valuable new sort has been entirely monopolized for several years by our Hudson Co., N. J., Market Gardeners, until this season, when we offer it for general distribution. The Salamander is the best variety for summer use, forming good-sized compact heads, color light green outside, and white on the inside. Its great quality, however, is that it will withstand drought and Heat, and remain longer in head than any other yariety; this peculiarity was fully proven through the unexampled dry season of 1881. It is very slow to run to seed, and to Market Gardeners isinvaluable on account of its heat resisting qualities.
50c. per 02z.;
NEW LETTUCE, Yellow Seeded Butter.
Like the preceding, this withstands summer heat well, and stands long before running to seed. It isa very distinct sort, making a large dense yellow head, very crisp and tender, and excellent in flavor. Its beautiful yellow heart gives it a very haudsome appearance.
50c. per oz.; $1.75 per 3 Ib.
LETTUCE, Black-Seeded Simpson.
We consider this Black-Seeded Simpson to be one of the most desirable acquisitions that has been made to our list of Lettuces within ten years. It has now been horoughly tested, and from every side we hear the most tatisfactory reports in regard toit. Like the ordinary surled Simpson, it does not properly form a head, but a

It is equally suited for forcing ; but, on account of its large size, it might not prove to be as profitable under some circumstances as the strictly aang varieties, such as the Boston Market or Tennis Ba

MUSK MELON, Bay View.

NEW PEA, “American Wonder.”
(True, and grown from original stock.)
This most desirable Pea we have catalogued for the last two years, although our supply of it was so limited that we were compelled to omit it from many orders before the season was over; this year we are happy to state that we have secured a stock sufficiént, we think, to supply the large and increased demand there is sure to be for it. American Wonder is a seedling, the result of a cross between the Champion of England and Litile Gem; it is one of the earliest wrinkled Peas in cultivation, of the finest quality and flavor and wonderfully productive; its great distinctive feature, however, is its compact and dwarf growth, seldom exceeding ten inches in height. Our illustra- _ tion is taken from an actual sketch of it in our trial grounds last summer.

NEW TOMATO, ‘‘ PERFECTION.” (HALF SECTION), ‘‘ PERFECTION TOMATO.”
NEW TOMATO, “ Perfection.”’
Two of the very best Tomatoes of late years, the Acme and Paragon, were originated by Mr. Livingstone, to whom we are also indebted for this rew variety. His opinion, therefore, is entitled to consideration, when he states that he considers the Perfection far ahead in every respect of the two well-known sorts that have done him so much credit. The fruit of Perfection is larger in size than the Acme, and a little smaller than the Paragon; color, blood red; it is as early as the Canada Victor (one of the first to ripen), almost round in shape, perfectly smooth, and very solid, of the best quality, enormously productive, bearing all through the season until frost. As it is very solid, and has a tough skin, it will be found very valuable for shipping purposes, and it has the ‘further merit of ripening all over and through at the same time. We are glad to be able to anounce that in our trials this new variety has fully maintained the high opinion formed of it by its originator.

SPINACH, Savoy-Leaved.
A most valuable variety of Spinach, and one that is comparatively new, and which produces nearly twice the weight of crop as the ordinary sorts, and which has another most important value in the fact that it is the hardiest of all varieties of Spinacli, as we have proved, to our entire satisfaction, by a comparative test in our grounds for the past three winters. In appearance the leaf is wrinkled in the same way peculiar to the Savoy Cabbage; hence the name. There is little doubt but what it will eventually be grown to the exclusion of all other sorts, except perhaps the New Thick-Leaved.
10c. per $ Ib.. 30c. per Ib. SPINACH, New Thick-Leaved.

NEW SQUASH, Perfect Gem.
A remarkable variety, inasmuch as it is equally de- sirable either as a summer or a winter Squash, and pos- sessing the best features of both classes. It is a strong grower and a large yielder, as many as twenty-four Squashes having been produced on a single vine. The Squashes are from four to six inches in diameter, of a creamy white, with thin, smooth shell, slightly ribbed, The flesh, cooked, is dry, sweet and rich in flavor, and free from the strong taste peculiar to the winter sorts, It is a splendid keeper; in a cool, dry room, free from frost, they may be kept until spring. (See cut )
25¢e, per oz.; 90c. per ¢ lb. ; $3.25 per lb.
TURNIP, Extra Early Purple Top Munich.
Tha chief value of this new variety consists in its earliness, being from two to three weeks earlier than any other variety in cultivation. It is, however, a very handsome Turnip, with purplish red top, flesh as white as snow, and of the most delicate flavor.
20c. peroz.; T5e.pertlb.; $2.75 per lb.
POTATO, Late Beauty of Hebron.
A late variety of the well-known Beauty of Hebron, standing in the same relation to that variety as the Late Rose to its famous parent. The tubers are oblong, and of large size, skin and flesh both white, an excellent keeper, and table quality of the very best. A very heavy yielder. ;
By express or freight, 60c. per pk.; $2.50 per bus.; $5.00 per bbl. -
POTATO, Mammoth Pearl.
A large growing, white-skinned and white-fleshed sort, grown for general crop. It is an enormous yielder, withstands rot, and is never hollow, while its table quality is of the best. This sort has given very general satisfaction in all parts of the country.
By express or freight, 60c. per pk.; $2.50 per bus. ; $5.00 per bbl.
NEW POTATO, St. Patrick.
This variety, first introduced by us in 1879, and now a popular sort in this country, has been thoroughly tested in England the past two seasons, where it carried off the first premium at several Agricultural shows where it was exhibited, The St. Patrick Potato is a direct descendant of the Garnet Chili and Early Rose, and is the best re- sult of the raiser’s (Mr. Goodale) careful experiments for the past twelve years in the production of new varieties. In appearance the St. Patrick is undoubtedly one of the handsomest Potatoes ever grown; it has a smooth white skin, and white flesh, few and shallow eyes; in shape it is rather oblong than round, and has no core, neither is it hollow; it is a strong and hardy grower, and from all accounts, has withstood the rot so prevalent last season better than any other sort. It produced but few small
tubers, ripens medium early, and is enormously productive
and of fine quality.
By express or freight, 75¢c per pk.; $3.00 per bus. ; $6.00 per bbl.
POTATO, Queen of the Valley.
Every season we are treated to a long list of New Po- tatoes, very few of which merit, or even attain more than an annual prominence. Of the many new sorts offered recently through various sources, we found after a thorough comparative test, that this variety, Queen of the Valley, was a really fine sort and possessed of many good qualities. It makes a large tuber (the illustration being less than half the natural size), is enormously pro- ductive, and of very fine quality, cooking mealy without falling to pieces. As will be seen, the tuber is somewhat square cut at the ends, color pink at seed end, gradually changing to white near the stem.
By express or freight, 75c. per pk.; $3:00 per bus, ; $6.00 per bbl.
POTATO, White Elephant.
We have excellent reports of this variety, which was first sent outlast season. It seems to combine in a marked degree, great productiveness, fine qnality and flavor, with freedom from rot. It,is a large variety, and the tubers, notwithstanding their enormous size, are always solid, and are proof against decay until far into the spring. The vines are stout and vigorous, and so far have re- sisted all manner of, blight.

24 PETER HENDERSON & CO.’S WHOLESALE MONTHLY LIST OF SEEDS.
A DOUBLE CROP—Cauliflower and Lettuce.
In the vicinity of our large cities there are acres of glass devoted to the forcing or forwarding of lettuce, radishes, etc. The principal crop, however, is lettuce, which is raised during the winter months, either in the old-fashioned hotbeds, heated with stable manure, or else in the more recent greenhouses, heated by hot- water pipes. But by far the largest quantity of early or forced lettuce is grown in the ‘ cold frames,” such as are used for keeping the plants over winter. These are simply two boards set on edge, and placed parallel to one another: the one at the back being about one foot in height, the front one about nine inches—the distance apart being according to the length of the sash, which is usually six feet. These frames are always placed in a position naturally sheltered from the northwest, or else a high board fence is built to shelter them. The soil is pulverized and enriched in the best possible manner, and the lettuce is planted usually (here) about the first week in March, or nearly a month before operations can be begun in the open field. When the ordinary size of sash (36 feet) is used, about fifty lettuce plants are set under each sash, or five rows of ten plants in each, as shown in Fig. 1. But when a double crop of lettuce and cauliflower is grown under the same sash, they are planted (as shown in Fig. 2) with three entire rows of lettuce, and three of the lettuce plants in the other two rows replaced by cauliflower, the cross (X) showing where the cauliflowe:
1.—SASH OF LETTUCE. 2.—LETTUCE AND CAULIFLOWER.
plants are placed. Thus planted, each sash contains forty-four plants of lettuce, and six {plants of cauli- flower. : : Presuming that both are planted on March 1st, and protected in the usual way with sash, the estes will be fit for use, and cut out by about May ist, leaving the whole space in the frame to be occupied by the six plants of cauliflower, which, at this season, protected by the glass, will now grow so rapidly, that it will be necessary to add to the frames another board in height, so as to give it head-room, With proper attention to airing and watering, an excellent crop of cauliflower is almost certain by the end of May, or about three weeks sooner than it would mature out-doors, if it matured at all ; for all cultivators know how precarious a crop cauliflower is when planted in the open ground in our hot, dry June weather. In England the crop rarely fails, when planted in spring out-doors, for there they get very nearly the conditions of temperature which we give when forwarded under glass in the way above described. : : The advantage of this double crop is apparent. Only six plants of lettuce are lost by the presence of the cauli- flower, while three weeks’ longer use of the sash matures the cauliflower, which at that season readily sells in New York at from $6.00 to $9.00 per dozen, and by averaging the lettuce at $5.00 per 100, a moderate estimate for the double crop of lettuce and cauliflower per sash would be $5.00. The variety of lettuce used is the Boston Market, and of cauliflower, the Early Erfurt. Though the new dwarf sort, known as early Snowball, will probably, with its compact growth and short leaves, do even better.—Prrer HEnpDERson in Americam Agricutturist,

t MATTHEW’s GARDEN a DRILL.
Is one of the most perfect machines of its kind. It opens the ffirrow, drops the seed accurately, covers it and lightly rolls it, and at the same time marks the next row, all of which is done with mechanical precision, by simply Pre pelling the drill forward. In this way itsows with an evenness and yapidity impossible for the most skilful hand to do, all the different varieties of Beet, Car rot, Onion, Turnip, Parsnip, Sage, Spinach, Sorghum, Peas, Beans, Broom Corn, Fodder Corn, ete
The agitator stirs the seeds in the hopper thoroughly by a positive motion. which in- sures continuous and uniform delivery, and the bottom of the hopper is made sufficiently dishing to sow the smallest quantity of seed. A simple contrivance accurately gauges the uniform deposit of the seed to any required depth, thus avciding the msk of planting at irregular depth, or so deep in places as to destroy the seed./ The markers are made ad- justable for the purpose of marking the rows at any desired, distance apart, and they mark them distinctly, whether the ground is even or uneven.
Another great advantage which it possesses over rk other machine is that it is the only drill which has an
INDICATOR with the names of the different seeds thereory} Simply turn it until the name of the seed to be planted comes up to the indicator-pin, which revolves the dial, attachyq to the bottom of the hopper, until the right-sized hole in it for planting that seed comes directly into place. aoe ir--enious invention is a great improvement over any other method in use, and is much more convenient and reliable. ri, , $11.50, boxed.

With this hoe the operator tends very readily both sides of a row at onceiDfuch more easily and closely than he can tend one side of each of two rows?! This is an invaluable feature, especially in crops sowed on ridges. The wheagy in. be set four, seven or ten inches apart. It has a pair of hoes, a pair of plows, and two pairs of cultivator teeth. making it capable of every variety of work. It cuts from six to sixteen inches wide, throwi ing to or from the row as desired. Price $9 00.
THE PLANET JR. No. 2 DRILL, (No Hoeing Attachment.)
Sows with ease and accuracy at any exact depth or thickness, all garden, field and nursery seeds possible to be sown with a drill, and quickly repays its cost in saving of seeds, time, labor, and in better Y ; crops to all, who grow vegetables for home or market. The hopper revolyes with the carrying wheels, ‘thus preventing clogging and insuring regular dropping. Regularity of depth and evenness of covering are insured by the arrangement of the plow. While a good marker, a self-clearing plow, and the absence of all gearing and agitators, make these drills remarkable for durability, simplicity and ease of management. Price, $10 50.

HENDERSON’S HANDBOOK OF PLANTS. BY PETER HENDERSOny.
This new workis designed to filla want that many amateur abd professional Horticulturists have often felt—the need of a concise yet comprehensive Dictionary of Plants, The work above named, written and compiled with great care, we think will fully meet such a want.
The scopo of the work embraces the Botanical Name, Derivation, Linnean, and Natural Orders of Botany of all the Leading Genera of Ornamental and Useful Plants, up to the present time (comprising every plant of importance relating to the mechanic arts, as well as to the green-house and vegetable garden), with concise instructions for propagation and culture. A valuable feature of the book, particularly to amateurs, is the great care that has been given to obtaining all known lq¢31 or common names; and a comprehensive glos of Botanical and Technical terms is also given, which ¥ill be found of great value even to the experi- enced Horticulturist.
As a book of reference, HENDERSON’S HANDBOOK OF PLANTS will take the place, for all practical
purposes, of the expensive and voluminous ‘European Works ofthis ind, as it has been written with a view to meet the wants of those engaged in Horticulture in this country. Instructions for the culture of many im- portant plants have been given at length. is

To such as are intending to begin the business of Market Gardening, we offer for their instruction our work ‘‘ Gardening for Profit,” published first in 1866, and new edition in 1873. ‘‘Gardening for Profit” has had a larger sale probably than any work ever published on the subject of Horticulture. Upwards of fifty thousand copies have been sold, and we have hundreds of grateful testimonials from those who have been benefited by its teachings. The subjects of its contents are: | and Greenhouses; Seeds and seed Raising; How, When,
and Where to Sow Seeds; Transplanting; Packing of Vege- tables for Shipping; Preservation of Vegetables in Win-
ter; Insects; Vegetables—their Variety and Cultivation; \. Monthly Calendar of Operations,

Our second work, written in 1868, second edition in 1073, and the third edition December, 1878, is en-
titled: “* PRACTICAL FLORICULTURE,”
and it, like its conteizporary, was written to teach how flowers and plants can be best ‘* grown for profit.” The success of this has been even more marked than the first, whe! we consider that it only refers to a business exclusively aluxury. Upwards of twenty-five thousand copies of this work have been sold, and it has been the means of establishing thousands of persons in an agreeable, ¢ ad in a majority of cases, profitable business. Its contents embrace: \ Aspect and Soil; Laying out the Lawn and Flower Garden;
of Bouquets, Baskets, etc.; Wire Designs for Cut Flowers; Designs for Ornamental Grounds; Planting of Flower Beds;
Hanging Baskets; Parlor and Window Gardening ; Wardian
Soils for Potting; Temperature and Moisture; The Potting of Plants; Cold Frames—Winter Protection; Construction of Hotheds ; Greenhouse Structures; Greenhouses attached to Dwellings; Modes of Heating; Base Burning Water Heater; Prop »gation of Plants by Seeds; What Varieties come True from Seed; Propagation of Plants by Cuttings; How Plants and Flowers are Grown; Propagation of Lilies; Culture of the Rose ; Culture of the Verbena; Culture of the Tnberose; Orchid Culture; Holland Bulbs; Cape Bulbs, Varieties and Culture ; Culture of Winter-Flowering Plants; Construction
Cnses, Ferneries, etc.; Formation of Rockwork ; Insects; Are Planes Injurious to Health? Nature’s Jaw of Colors; ’acking filants; Plants by Mail ; TheProfits of Floriculture; How to BeGome a Florist; Short Descriptions of Soft-Wooded or Bedding Plants of the Leading Kinds; What Flowers will Grow in the Shade; Greenhouse and Stove or Hothouse Plants, Annuals, Hardy Herbaceous, Perennial and Biennial Plants; Ornamental Shrabs and Climbers; Culture of Grape Vines under Glass; Diary of Operations for Lach Day in the Year.
Our first two books fell into the hands of many who had no desire to make gardening a business, but who
yet wished for information on the subject for their private use. To such it was found that a book detailing operations on a smaller scale, yet embracing, as far as possible, all the information on the subject, was much wante1. To supply this want we, in 1875, wrote
‘GARDENING FOR PLEASURE,”
and it is flattering to state that the demand for it, for the time it has been issued, has been greater than cither ofits predecessors. Its scope of subjects is naturally greater than either ‘Gardening for Profit,” or ‘‘ Prac- tical Floriculture,” as it embraces directions for the propagation and culture of fruit, flowers, and vegetables,
Its contents include:
Soil and Location; Drainage ; Preparation of the Ground; Walks; Manures; How to Use Concentrated Fertilizers; Special Fertilizers for Particular Plants ; The Lawn; Design for Garden; Planting of Lawns and Flower Beds; Fall or Holland Bulbs; Propagation of Piants by Seeds; Propaga- tion of Plants by Cuttings; Propagating by Layering ; About Grafting and Budding; How Grafting and Budding are lone; Treatment of Tropical Bulbs, Seeds, ete.; The Potting of Plants; Winter-Flowering Plants; Un ealthy Plants—the Remedy; Plants Suited for Summer ]/*:oration; Hanging lsaskets; Window Gardening: Parlezprardening, or the Cultivation of Plants in Rooms: Wardian Cases; Ferneries; Jardinieres; Winter-Forcing the Lily of the Valley; Green-

Shading; The Laws of Color in Flowers; Pruning; Hardy Grapes; Cold Grapery; The Hothouse or Forcing Grapery; The Straw- berry; Cottage Gardening—A Digression; The Vegetable Garden; Garden Implements; Monthly Calendar of Opera- tions.
All these works were written by Peter Henderson, the senior member of our firm, and are simply a relation
of his extensive experience of over a quarter of acentury in all departments of Horticulture. They are wnit- ten 1n the plainest language, so that the instructions can be at once understood, no matter how ignorant the reader may be of the subject. The priceof ‘‘ Gardening for Profit,” ‘‘ Practical Floriculture,” and ‘‘ Gardening for Pleasure,” is $1.08 each (prepaid by mail;) but to all ordering seeds, plants, or other articles to the value of $20.00 (in ene order), from this Catalogue, any one of them will be added gratis.
