Henderson's Butterfly Pansies — in mixture — have been famous many years

 superb markings as well as for robust plant growth — deep rooting, frost and 

 heat resisting qualities and freedom of bloom.

HENDERSON'S GIANT RUFFLED PANSIES. 



A 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, causing them 

 to be undulated and fluted from center to circumference, not unlike " frilled " 

 velvet. They are nearly all five-blotched and contain rich combinations of 

 coloring. Mixed Colors. Per 1,000 seeds, 60c Pkt. 15c 2 pkts. for 25c

Distinguished by magnificent and varied colors and strong markings. There 

 is usually a large " blotch " on each of the five petals, with a surrounding band 

 of some strikingly contrasting color, over all of which is thrown a cobweb-like 

 netting of yet another hue. The combinations prevailing are composed of 

 shades of cinnamon, violet, canary and orange-yellow, black, garnet, light blue, 

 indigo, cream, etc. Mixed Colors. Per 1000 seeds, 60c Pkt. 15c. 2 pkts for 25c

WOKLD PsECORD— or Hardy Early^ Flowering— PANSIES— Fragrant. 



This new race of pansies promises to be an important introduction on account of the extreme hardiness of the plants and in consequence their earliness 

 in "flowering. With slight protection, such as salt meadow hay, straw or similar material, full grown plants winter over in the open ground — even in very cold 

 latitudes — and commence flowering in early spring with the Snowdrop and Crocus, or from four to six weeks earlier than other pansies. In fact, we gathered 

 flowers several times during the past winter by lifting the snow-covered hay.
