PETER HENDERSON S PLANT CATALOGUE. 



COLORED PLATE OF PANSIES. 



We invite the special attention of our customers to our Colored Plate of Pansies. Every 

 variety there represented was taken from our own grounds in June of 1876, and is as exact a 

 counterpart of the natural flower, both in size, shape, and coloring, as well can be. The plants 

 we offer will vary a little in some of the varieties, but we are certain that they will be at least 

 equal to the types of each color shown in the plate. The great improvement made in the fancy 

 varieties of Pansies has rendered them widely popular, as plants for vases or window-boxes, and 

 for massing in flower beds in summer no plant is more deservedly esteemed. 



Price 30 cents each; $3.00 for collection of 12 sorts. Sent by mail, if desired.
