Henderson's Superior GIANT TRIMARDEAU PANSIES 



Years of scientific culture, hybridization and selection in raising Pansies have gradually evolved a superior race of luxuriant, robust growth and deep- 

 rooting, drought-withstanding qualities; the flowers have also correspondingly improved in size, substance, form and colors. At first there were only one 

 or two varieties in this class of Pansies, but annually one or more varieties would reach the goal of the Giants, until now we have such a complete variety 

 of colors, that we discard all ordinary-sized Pansies.

 This collection contains one packet each of 12 of the largest and most 

 beautiful Pansies in cultivation. Price, 75c 



"/ want to tell you of my splendid success with your Giant Pansy seed. I 

 bought a dollar collection last fall, planted them the loth of September, and have 

 had them in bloom six or seven wteks. Thay are beautiful, and I can sell all 

 I want at 50 cents a dozen. I could tell you of many other beautiful flowers 

 I've had from your seeds, but it would lake too much time." 

 Jan. 12, 1917. Mrs. GEO. M. STUART, Dallas. Texas. 



"The Pansies I raised this year were from Henderson's best grade Pansy seed 

 and they were the most beautiful Pansies I had ever seen, with large, beautifully 

 colored flowers on long stems, blossoming from early summer until about the 10th 

 of November. I had several small beds of them and they were always covered 

 with blossoms." 

 Nov. 27, 1916. Miss GERTRUDE BENNETT, Black Earth, Wis. 



"I have some cf the most beautiful Pansies grown from seed purchased from 

 you."

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, measur- 

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

 Pansies are also very fragrant.

May 22, 1916. OBE LASH, Vermont, III. 



"Last August I planted some of your Pansy seed in cold frames for this 



spring's planting. They have done so well, and are still blooming at this date. 



that I am going to try them again." 



J. E. BUTLER, Llanerch, Pa. 



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. - .
