Henderson’s Superior Giant Pansies. 
Years of scientific culture, hybridization and selection in raising Pansies have gradually evolved a superior race of luxuriant, robust growth and deep-rooting, 
drought-withstanding qualities; 
the flowers have also correspondingly improved in size, substance, form and colors. 
At first there were only one or two 
varieties in this class of pansies, but annually one or more varieties would reach the goal of the Giants, until now we have such a complete 
variety of colors, that we, this season, discard all ordinary-sized pansies, excepting those used in our cheapest mixture. 
“I think I have tried everybody's best pansies and none of them can hold a candle to Henderson’s big ones.’—GRACE POPE, Southwest Point, Can.

Heli veulh s Collection of 12 Giant ‘Daneine 
Henderson’ 5) Mammoth Butterfly Pansies. 
HESE Pansies we are very proud of. We have sold them for a number of 
years and receive hundreds of letters praising their superior beauty, size 
and other merits; they were awarded a medal at the Columbian Exposi- 
tion, Chicago, where they competed with the best from allover the world. When 
our unequaled collections of all 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 of pansies, where nothing but the largest, hand- 
somest and most perfect are allowed to remain. Consequently the seed is saved 
from the greatest variety of types, including only the best of Giant Cassiers, 
Bugnots, Trimardeau, 5-blotched Odier, Giant English, French and German 
Hybrids, ete., resulting in the greatest variety of coloring, marking, blotching, 
veining, etc., for brilliant and attractive beds. (See cut.) Mixed Colors. Per

“T have grown large pansies before, but never saw the equal of the 
‘Mammoth Butterfly,’ the seed of which I got from you lastfall. I have 
a large bed ofthem; the plants are 20 inches high, and the stems of the 
blossoms 9 inches long, while the blossoms themselves are siinply mon- 
strous, each one a broad expanse of beauty.””’ THOMAS C. STARR, 
Newton, Mass.

Henderson's Giant Ruttled Pansies, 
REMARKABLE strain of Giant Pansies, the flowers of which are so large 
and full that the broad petals seem to be ‘‘gathered”’ to the stem, caus- 
ing them to be undulated and fluted from centre to circumference, not 
unlike ‘‘frilled’’ velvet. The unusual substance of the flowers, aided by these 
corrugations, thus enables them to present bold, open and handsome faces, even 
during windy or dry summer weather, when other pansy flowers flop or wilt. 
The flowers are extraordinarily large and are borne On strong stems well above 
the foliage; they are nearly all five-blotched on the ‘‘Odier’’ pattern, and con- 
tain rich combinations of coloring, including some new tints and blendings not 
met with in other pansies. The plants are vigorous and large, and flower 
abundantly. Mixed Colors. Per 1,000 seeds, $1.00........c:.ceecceeceneeeeeees Pkt. .25

Henderson's Mammoth Parisian Pansies. 
HE Parisian Pansies are distinguished by their magnificent and varied col- 
ors and strong markings. There is usually alarge ‘blotch’’ oneach ofthe 
five petals, with a surrounding band of some strikingly contrastingcolor, 
over all of which is thrown a cobweb-like netting of yet another hue. The com- 
binations prevailing are composed of shades ofcinnamon, violet, canary and or- 
ange-yellow, black, garnet, light blue, indigo, cream, etc. These pansies have 
been brought up to a high standard of excellence, the flowers being of fine sub- 
stance, perfect shape and ofmammothsize, measuring, when properly cultivated, 
four inches across. A large number of these pansies are also very fragrant.
