HENDERSON'S 



Mammoth Butterfly Pansies 



Competed with the best from all over the world at the Columbian and 

 other Expositions and were AWARDED MEDALS 



Henderson's Mammoth Butterfly Pansies — in mixture — hive been famous many- 

 years for their superior size, perfection of form, marvelous diversity of colorings, J 

 superb markings, as well as for robust plant growth — deep rooting frost and heat jff- 

 resisting qualities and freedom of bloom. This "Butterfly" race originated n& 

 with Mr. Peter Henderson — who was particularly fond of pansies and could £gj 

 be seen almost any morning during "pansy season" walking around the 

 beds — and through his pansy trials from the best American, English, 

 Scotch, French and German pansy specialists. A boy with trowel and 

 "flat" followed and lifted any plant indicated by Mr. Henderson — which 

 meant that it fulfilled all of his expert and critical requirements and was 

 to be transferred to the "Butterfly-" bed and associate with the "quality" 

 pansies — the best from all over the world. This process of selection and 

 elimination has been persisted in by us ever since, and from the legion 

 of "most beautiful" pansies among Henderson's Butterflies we have chosen 

 this offering.

^Y0RDS OF PRAISE FROM CUSTOMERS 



"The Butterfly Pansies which I sowed last August and carried over the 

 winter in cold frames have been the wonder and admiration of all who have 

 Seen them. They have been in constant bloom since early spring." 



Miss ETHEL M. ZOLLMA N, Piltsford, N. Y. 



"I had the Mammoth Butterfly Pansies last summer and was delighted 

 with them. In fact I never expect to have a more perfect Pansy bed than I 

 had last summer. We picked some after the snow came." 



Miss HELEXE BOYCE, 12 Pine St., Tunkhannock, Pa. 



"The Butterfly Pansies w^re handsome and bloomed till snow covered 

 them. Our neighbors' early Pansies, which they bought in bloom from the 

 flower dealers, had ceased to bloom in July and early August." 



CVSTAVUS A. RICE, 4923 Greene St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



"We are very much pleased with the Butterfly Pansy seed you sent us

PANSIES 



This new race of Pansies promises to be an important introduction 

 on account oi the extreme hardiness of the plants and in consequence 

 their earliness 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 Sncwdrop 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. 



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



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



Winter Sun. Golden yellow with maroon blotch on lower petals . . 25c.
