PANSY, Henderson's Mammoth Parisian 



The Parisian Pansies are distinguished by their 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 all of which is 

 thrown a cobweb-like netting of yet another hue. The combinations prevailing 

 are composed of shades of cinnamon, violet, "canary- and orange-yellow, black, 

 garnet; light blue, indigo, cream, etc. A large number of these Pansies are also 

 very fragTant. 

 3160 Mixed Colors. Per 1000 seeds, 7oc. Pkt, 15c. 



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 met with in 

 other Pansies. 

 3170 Mixed Colors. Per 1000 seeds, 75c. Pkt, 15o. 



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-rooting 

 drought-withstanding qualities; the flowers have also correspondingly 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.

PANSY, World Record, 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, leaves or similar material, 

 full-grown plants winter over 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. In fact, we gathered flowers several 

 times during the past winter by lifting the snow-covered hay. Even spring-sown 

 plants will commence flowering much sooner than other Pansies, and the deep 

 fibrous-rooted plants — being less susceptible to hot weather — continue to bloom 

 in increasing profusion well in to late summer with but little if any diminution in 

 size of flowers. The flowers, while not of "giant" size, yet are as large as those of 

 ordinary Pansies and, moreover, are delicately fragrant — indicating the Violet 

 blood in their make-U).. '
