HENDERSON'S GIANT PANSIES 



FOR SOWING 

 THIS FALL 



GROWING P ASSIES FROM AUTUMS-SOWS SEED. Sow the seed in 

 July, August or the early part of September in the open ground on a finely prepared 

 seedbed sheltered from hot sun. or protect with a light covering of salt hay or straw 

 i burlap bags, to keep the ground moist until the seedlings are up. Thin 

 the seedlings to 3 or 4 inches apart — in about 6 weeks the young plants can be 

 removed to their permanent flowering quarters, where they must be again covered 



Henderson's Mammoth Butterfly 



This "Butterfly" race originated from selections made by the late Peter 

 Henderson — who was particularly fond of pansies — from the best American, 

 English, Scotch, French and German varieties. This process of selection 

 has been followed in by us ever since, and from the legion of "most beauti- 

 ful" pansies among Henderson's Butterflies we have chosen this offering.

Henderson's Mammoth Parisian 



The Parisian Pansies are distinguished by their varied colors and strong 

 markings. There is a large "blotch" on each of the five petals, with a band

 netting of yet another hue.

Henderson's Giant Ruffled 



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 fluted from center to circumference, not unlike "frilled" velvet. The 

 unusual substance of the flowers, enables them to present bold, open and 

 handsome faces, during windy or dry summer weatner, when other Pansy 

 flowers droop or wilt. The flowers are borne on strong stems well above the 

 foliage and contain rich combinations of coloring not found in other Pansies

with Salt hay to a depth of about 3 inches after freezing weather sets in. Another 

 way to winter over autumn-grown seedlings is to transplant them 3 to 4 inches 

 apart according to their size into coldframes, and transplant to flowering quarters 

 as early in the spring as possible. 



The Pansy is hardy with slight protection, and thrives best when grown cool. 

 In hot exposed situations it deteriorates rapidly.
