HENDERSON'S SELECTED 



PANSIES 



Years of scientific culture and hybridization of Pansies have gradually evolved 

 superior races of large flowered, robust-growing varieties greatly surpassing those 

 of former days. The varieties described on this page are all standards in their 

 respective classes; in fact the best of their kind. 



PANSY, Henderson's Mammoth Butterfly 



Henderson's Mammoth Butterfly Pansies have been famous many years for 

 their superior size, perfection of form, marvelous diversity of colorings, as well 

 as for robust plant grow'th and freedom of bloom. This "Butterfly" race originated 

 with the late Peter Henderson — who was particularly fond of pansies. He could 

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

 inspecting liis pansy trials from the best American, English, Scotch, French and 

 German pansy specialists. A boy ^rith trowel and "flat" followed and lifted any 

 plant indicated by JNIr. 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 has been persisted in by us ever since, and from the legion of 

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

 offering. Per
