SELECTED STRAINS OF PANSY SEEDS FOR FALL SOWING. 



HENDERSON'S MAMMOTH BUTTERFLY PANSIES 



Have been famous many years for their superior size, 

 perfection of form, mavelous diversity of colorings, superb 

 markings as well as for robust plant growth — deep rooting 

 frost and heat resisting qualities and freedom of bloom. 

 (See engraving). Mixed Colors, 15c. per pkt., 2 pkts. for 

 25c. 75c. per 1000 seeds. 



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. They are nearly all five-blotched and contain rich 

 combinations of coloring. Mixed Colors. Pkt. 15c. 2 pkts. 

 for 25c. Per 1,000 seeds, 75c. 



HENDERSON'S MAMMOTH PARISIAN PANSIES. 



Distinguished by 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 which is thrown a cobweb-like net- 

 ting of yet another hue. The combinations are composed 

 of shades of cinnamon, violet, canary, orange-yellow, black, 

 garnet, light blue, indigo, cream, etc. Mixed Colors. Pkt. 

 15c. 2 pkts. for 25c. Per 1,000 seeds, 75c. 



HENDERSON'S GIANT MOTTLED PANSIES 



The flowers well-grown measure 3 to Z l /i inches 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. Mixed Colors. Pkt., 15c. 2 pkts. for 25c. 

 Per 1,000 seeds, 75c.

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-with- 

 standing qualities; the flowers have also correspondingly 

 improved in size, substance, form and colors.

WORLD RECORD PANSIES. Hardy Early-Flowering. 



This new race of pansies promises to be an important 

 introduction on account of the extreme hardiness of the 

 plants and in consequence their earliness in flowering. With 

 slight protection, such as meadow hay, straw 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. They are sweetly perfumed. Pkt. 



Celestial Queen. Bright sky-blue, tinted lavender, 

 small yellow eye 25 



Ice King. Silvery white, with deep blue blotch on 

 lower petals 25 



March Beauty. Rich velvety violet-purple, with

Winter Sun. Golden Yellow with maroon blotch on 



lower petals. (See engraving.) 25
