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. 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 droop 

 or wilt. The flowers are extraordinary large and are borne on strong stems 

 well above the foliage; they are nearly all five-blotched on the "Odier" 

 pattern, and contain rich combinations of coloring, including some new tints 

 and blendings not met with in other Pansies. The plants are vigorous and 

 large, and flower abundantly. 

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



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-ye'low. 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, measur- 

 ing, when properly cultivated, four inches across. A large number of these 

 Pansies are also very fragrant. 

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



HENDERSON'S GIANT MOTTLED PANSIES 



_ A distinct new type of Pansies of greatest merit. The flowers are of

 veined, striped and blended, colors passing through reds, rose, pink, white, 

 purple, in beautiful and indescribable variegation.

WORLD RECORD— or Hardy Early-Flowering— PANSIES 



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

 ness in flowering. With slight protection, such as meadow hay, leaves 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. Even spring-sown plants will commence flowering 

 much sooner than other Pansies, and the deep fibrous-rooted plants — being less susceptible to hot weather — continue to bloom in increasing profusion 

 well in to late summer with but little if any diminution in size of flowers. The flowers, while not of "giant" size, yet are as large as those of ordinary 

 Pansies and, moreover, are delicately fragrant — indicating the Violet blood in their make-up. At present we can offer only four varieties: 

 Celestial Queen. Bright sky-blue, tinted lavender, small yellow eye. Pkt. 25c. WinterSun. Golden yellow with maroon blotch on lower petals.. Pkt. 25c. 



Ice King. Silvery white, with deep blue blotch on lower petals 25c 



March Beauty. Rich velvety violet-purple, with yellow eye 25c 



My Pansies raised from your Giant seed are the admiration of all of my friends. 

 I never had anything like them for size, beauty and variety of coloring and pro- 

 fusion of bloom, and I have cultivated Pansies for twenty years. 



LILLY A. TREAT, Bridgewater, Conn. 



My Pansies of last year raised from seeds bought of you were much admired 

 for their fragrance, beauty and size. Some of them measured over three inches 

 across and were so strong and healthy.

 I feel that I must write and tell you about the excellent Pansy 1 seed we had 

 from you last year. We had about 15 different kinds, and this season they 

 have shown us what can be done in growing Pansies. They were one continual 

 mass of bloom from early spring, large and broad flowers with excellent marking 

 in every detail, and admired by everyone who had the privilege to see them,
