PANSIES, Henderson's Mammoth Butterfly. 

 These 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 Ex- 

 position, Chicago, where they competed 

 with the best from all over the world. When 

 our unequalled collections of all types of 

 Pansies are in bloom we go over them daily 

 and any plant producing flowers of superla- 

 tive merit is removed to our " Mammoth " 

 Butterfly plot of Pansies, where nothing but 

 the largest, handsomest and most perfect 

 are allowed to remain. Consequently the 

 seed is saved from the greatest varieties of 

 types, including only the best of Giant Cas- 

 siers, Bugnots, Trimardeau, 5-blotched 

 Odier, Giant English, French and German 

 Hybrids, etc., resulting in the greatest 

 variety of coloring, marking, blotching, 

 veining, etc., for brilliant and attractive beds
