HENDERSON'S MAMMOTH BUTTERFLY PANSIES 



Those Who Have Grown Them Write: 



"Your Butterfly is the best 



strain of Pansy tliat I liave ever 



seen and I have been growing 



pansies for marliet for many 



rs." W. F. HEATH. 



Jaffry, N. H. 



\ 



"I b.ive tried your mammoth 

 Butterfly Pnnsies for three years 

 and find them superior to any I 

 h;ive ever grown.'* 



H. G. THURSTON. 

 Fall River, Mass. 



"I have grown large pansies before, but never saw 

 the etiual of your Giant Butterfly. The plants are 20 

 inches high, and the stems of the blossoms 9 inches 

 long, while the blossoms themselves are simply mon- 

 strous, each one n broad expanse of beauty." 



THOMAS C STARR, Newton. Mass. 



Henderson's MAMMOTH BUTTERFLY Pansies 



We are very proud of. We have sold them for a num- 

 ber of years and receive hundreds of letters praising 

 their .superior beauty, size and other merits. When 

 our trial collections of all the world's best types of 

 pansies are in bloom we go over them daily and any 

 plant producing flowers of superlative merit is removed 

 to our "Mammoth Butterfly" plot. Consequently the 

 seed is saved from the greatest variety of types, in- 

 cluding only the best of Giant Cassiers, Bugnots, Tri- 

 niardeau. Ti-blotched Odier. Giant English, French and 

 German hybrids, etc., resulting in the greatest variety 

 of coloring, marking, blotching, veining. etc.. which 

 we offer in mixed colors. Price 25c per pkt.; 50c per 

 1000 seeds; $5.00 per oz.

PLANT GROWERS' DINNER. 



The accompanying picture sliows the 

 members of the New York and New 

 Jersey Association of Plant Growers 

 and their guests posing to "have their 

 picture tooli" previous to the onslaught 

 upon the six-dollar feed that had been 

 provided by their efficient dinner com- 



ijiittee, Messrs. Julius Roehrs, Jr., Al- 

 fred L. Zeller and Herman Schoelzel. 

 In the centre foreground Louis Dupuy, 

 president of the Association, J. K. M. 

 L. Farquhar, president of the S. A. F., 

 and Thomas Roland of Nahant, Mass., 

 will be recognized. We presented an 

 account of this affair in our issue of 



last week and have only to add one in- 

 cident which we there omitted — the 

 presentation of a watch fob and dia- 

 mond-studded locket to the secretary 

 of the Association, Wm. H. Siebrecht, 

 Jr., by President Dupuy on behalf of 

 the members. Mr. Siebrecht made an 

 appreciative response.
