 Henderson's Mammoth Butterfly 



3243 Collection. One packet each of the eight 

 varieties shown on opposite page $1.00. 



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

 their superior size, perfection of form, marvelous diversity of colorings, superb 

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

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

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

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

 and through his pansy trails 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" be"d 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.

 over all of which is thrown a cobweb-like netting of yet another hue.

PANSY, Henderson's Giant Ruffled 



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

 and blendings not found in other Pansies.

PANSY, Henderson's Superior Giant Trimardeau 



Years of scientific culture hybridization and selection in raising Pansies 

 have gradually evolved a superior race of luxuriant, robust growth and deep- j 

 rooting, drought-withstanding qualities; the flowers have also correspond- 

 ingly 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. Per Pkt.

PANSY, World Record, Hardy, Early-Flowering 



With slight protection, such as meadow hay, leaves or similar material, 

 full-grown plants winter oyer in the open ground — even in very cold latitude — 

 and commence flowering in early spring with the Snowdrops and Crocus, or 

 from four to six weeks earlier than other Pansies. Spring-sown seed will 

 produce plants which will commence flowering much sooner than other Pansies, 

 the deep fibrous-rooted plants — being less susceptible to hot weather — con- 

 tinue to bloom in increasing profusion well into late summer with but little if 

 any diminution in size of flowers. The flowers are of large size and are deli- 

 cately fragrant — indicating the Violet blood in their make-up.
