Hendersons BUTTERFLY COLLECTION OF PANSIE* 



Shown in Colors on the Opposite Page 



Henderson's Butterfly Pansies — in mixture — have been famous many years for their superior size, perfection of form, marvelous diversity 

 colorings, superb markings as well as for robust plant growth — deep rooting frost and heat resisting qualities and freedom of bloom. This "Butterf 

 race originated with Mr. Peter Henderson — who was particularly fond of pansies and could be seen almost any morning during "pansy season" walk 

 around the beds — and through his pansy trials from the best American, English, Scotch, French and German pansy specialists. A boy with tro 

 and "flat" followed and lifted any plant indicated by Mr. Henderson — which meant that it fulfilled all of his expert and critical requirements and ] 

 to be transferred to the "Butterfly" bed and associate with the "quality" pansies — the best from all over the world. This process of selection and eliminat 

 has been persisted in by us ever since and from the legion of "most beautiful" pansies amongst Henderson's Butterflies we have chosen for this offering th 

 shown in colors on the opposite plate — though it does not do them justice — no brush can. We offer seeds of the twelve separately or collectively as be'

WORLD RECORD— or Hardy Early-Rowering— PANSIES 



This new race of pansies promises to be an important introduction on account of the extreme hardiness of the plants and in consequence their ej 



ness in flowenng. With slight protection, such as salt meadow hay, leaves or similar material, full grown plants winter over in the open ground -M 



in very cold latitudes — and commence flowering in early spring with the Snowdrop and Crocus, or from four to six weeks earlier than other panBl 

 In fact, we gathered flowers several times during the past winter by lifting the snow-covered hay. Even Spring sown plants will commence flowe I 

 miich sooner than other pansies — and the deep fibrous-rooted plants being less susceptible to hot weather — continue to bloom in increasing profu I 

 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 ordii ' 

 pansies and, moreover, are delicately fragrant — indicating the Violet blood in their make-up. At present we can offer only four varieties: 

 Celestial Queen. Bright sky-blue, tinted lavender, small yellow eye. PA<. 25c. Winter Sun. Golden yellow with maroon blotch on lower petals.. Pkt
