HENDERSON'S GIANT PANSIES 



FOR SOWING 

 THIS FALL 



GROWING PANSIES FROM ACTC M N-SOW N 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 young 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 over autumn- 

 grown seedlings is to transplant them 3 to 4 inches apart according to their size into coldframes.'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" pansies among Henderson's Butterflies 

 we have chosen this offering.

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 (luted from center to circumference, not unlike 

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

 to present bold, open and handsome faces, during windy or dry sum- 

 mer weather, when other Pansy flowers droop or wilt The flowers 

 are borne on strong stems well above the foliage and contain rich 

 combinations of coloring not found in other Pansies
