HENDERSON'S GIANT PANSIES 



GROWING PANSIES FROM AUTUMN-SOWN SEED. Sow the seed in July, August or the early part of September in the open ground 

 on a finely prepared seedbed sheltered from hot sun. or protect with a light covering of hay or straw or even burlap, to keep the ground moist until the 

 seedlings are up. Thin the seedlings to 3 or 4 inches apart — in about 6 weeks the yovng plants can be removed to their permanent flowering quarters, 

 where they must be again covered with hay to a depth of about 3 inches after freezing weather sets in. Another way to winter o-oer autumn-grown seedlings 

 is to transplant them 3 or 4 inches apart according to their size into culdframes, and transplant to flowering Quarters as early in the spring as possible 



The Pansy is hardy with slight protection, and thrives best when grown cool. In hot exposed situations it deteriorates rapidly. 



Henderson's Mammoth Butterfly 



This "Butterfly" race originated from selections made by the late 

 Peter Henderson — who was particularly fond of pansies — from the 

 best American, English, Scotch, French and German varieties. This 

 process of selection has been followed in by us ever since, and from the 

 legion of "most beautiful" i)ansies among Henderson's Butterflies we 

 have chosen tliis offering.

Henderson's Mammoth Parisian 



The Parisian Pansies are distinguished by their varied colors and

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 bo "gathered" to the stem, 

 causing them to be fluted from center to circumference, not unUke 

 "frilled" velvet. The unusual substance of the flowers, enables them to 

 present bold, open and liand.some faces, during windy or dry summer 

 weather, when other Pansy flowers droop or wilt. The flowers are 

 borne on strong stems well above the foliage and contain rich combina- 

 tions of coloring not found in other Pansies.

How to Order Fresh-Cut Flowers from Henderson's 



By Mail, Long Distance Telephone and Telegraph or Your Own Florist 



MAKE USE OF OUR CUT FLOWER DEPARTMENT ESTABLISHED FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF OUR CUSTOMERS 



Because of our location at New York City, we can make quick deliveries of fresh-cut flowers to all 

 out-going steamers from this port, or to any address in New York City. 



HOW TO ORDER. You i-eniit to us the amount you wish to spend, with your order and we 

 will deliver as instructed. Customers having charge accounts with us, may telegraph their orders 

 and have them charged. . .,„„ , ,,, j j ,, 



Customers are often in a dilemma as to just the kmd of flowers they should send, and no doubt 

 this uncertainty often discourages them from ordering. It is usually better to leave the selection 

 of flowers to us Tell us in vour letter or telegram for what purpose the flowers are to be used, for 

 instance, whether for a bouquet, a corsage or a floral design, or loose flowers suitable for vases. 

 We will then be able to supply a much better selection than could be specified from a distance. 



Be careful to send the full name and address of the person to whom the flowers are to be sent; also 

 the form of greeting or message to be enclosed with them. 



THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER METHOD OF ORDERING 



It has been well said that the Florists' Teietiraph Delivery Association is "the world's super- 

 lative example of co-ordination in the delivery of merchandise" because anyone can now step into 

 a members shop, and order a delivery of flowers to practically any address in the world, with the 

 certain knowledge that within a very short space of time the gift will be on its way. 



We are members of the Florists' Telegraph Delivery Association, and through it, we can 

 deliver fresh-cut flowers to anv city, town or village in the U. S. A. All that is necessary for you 

 to do is to go to any Florist in vour town who is a member of this Association, and place your order 

 with him Tell him that you wish Peter Henderson & Co. to fill the order. He will then telegraph 

 the order to us and we will deliver the flowers to the given address, thereby saving much time.
