HENDERSON S MAMMOTH BUTTERFLY PANSY. 



= = HENDERSON'S = = 



MAMMOTH BUTTERFLY PANSIES. 



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 Exposition, Chicago, 

 where they competed with the best from all over the world. When our un- 

 equaled 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, handsomest 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, etc., resulting in 

 the greatest variety of coloring, marking, blotching, veining, etc., for brilliant 

 and attractive beds. {See cut.') Mixed Colors, pkt. 25c; per 1000 seeds, 50c; 

 per oz., 85.00. 



" I have grown large pansies before, but never saw the equal of the Giant 

 Butterfly, the seed of which I got from you last fall. I have a large bed of them ; 

 the plants are 20 inches high, and the stems of the blossoms 9 inches long, while 

 the blossoms themselves are simply monstrous, each one a broad expanse of beauty." 



THOMAS C. STARR, Newton, Mass. 



Henderson's Best Pansies 



FOR FLORISTS. 



= = HENDERSON'S = = 



MAMMOTH PARISIAN PANSIES. 



The Parisian Pansies are distinguished by their 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. These pansies have been brought 

 up to a high standard of excellence, the flowers being of fine substance, perfect 

 shape and of mammoth size, measuring, when properly cultivated, four inches 

 across. A large number of these pansies are also very fragrant. Mixed Colors. 

 Pkt. 25c; per 1000 seeds, 50c; per oz., S5.00.

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 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 contain rich combina- 

 tions of coloring, including some new tints and Mendings not met with in ot her 

 pansies. The plants are vigorous and large, and flower abundantly. (See cut.) 

 Mixed Colors. Pkt. 25c; per 1000 seeds, 60c; per oz., S6.00. 



" I tried your Butterfly and Ruffled Pansies last year side by_ side with other 

 growers' seeds, and yours were the best though not the most expensive." 



REV. C. D. BALDWIN, Mallorytown Ont., Can.

GIANT MOTTLED PANSIES. 



A distinct new type of Pansies of greatest merit. The plants are of compact, 

 bushy form with luxuriant foliage. They root unusually deep, and are not 

 susceptible to drought and heat ; the flower stems are particularly strong, hold- 

 ing the flowers upright. The great merits of these pansies, however, lie in the 

 giant size and profusion of flowers — well grown they measure 3 to 3 J in. across — 

 and of most gorgeous effects, blotched, spotted, marbled, veined, striped and 

 blended, colors passing through reds, rose pink, white, purple, in beautiful and 

 indescribable variegation. These pansies were awarded a prize at the Paris Ex- 

 position, 1900. Mixed Colors. Pkt. 25c; per 1000 seeds, 50c; per oz., So. 00.
