new "Ruffled Giant " pansies. 



A remarkable strain of giant five-blotched Pansies, the flowers of which are so 

 large and full that the broad petals seein to be "gathered" to the stem, causing 

 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 

 enablethem to present bold, open and handsome faces, even during windy or dry 

 summer weather, when other extra large Pansy flowers Hop 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 contain some rich combina- 

 tions of coloring, including some new tints and blendings not met with in other 

 pansies, the predominating colors being various shades of gnruet, ruby, indigo, 

 heliotrope, canary, orange pink . terra cotta. violet, white, etc. The plants are 

 vigorous, sturdy and bushy; foliage unusually large and healthy; they root 

 deeply, thrive under extremes of temperature, and flower continuously and abun- 

 dantly, and will give our customers great satisfaction. Weonly offer Henderson's
