Henderson's Mammoth Butterfly Pansies 



Competed with the best from all over the world at the Columbian Exposition and were AWARDED THE MEDAL AND ARE NOW BETTER THAN EVER 



These Pansies we are very proud of. We have sold them for a number of 

 years and receive hundreds of letters praising their superior beauty, size 

 and other merits; they were awarded a medal at the Columbian Exposition. 

 Chicago, where they competed with the best from all over the world. When 

 our unequalled collections of all types of Pansies are in bloom we go over 

 them daily and any plant producing flowers of superlative merit is removed 

 to our "Mammoth Butterfly" plot of Pansies, where nothing but the largest, 

 handsomest and most perfect are allowed to remain. Consequently the seed 

 IS saved from the greatest varieties of types, including only the best of Giant 

 Cassiers, Bugnots, Trimardeau, 5-blotched Odier. Giant English, French 

 and German Hybrids, etc., resulting in the greatest variety of coloring, 

 marking, blotching, veining. etc.. for brilliant and attractive beds. 

 Mixed Colors. Per 1,000 seeds, 60c Pkt. 150 seeds, 15c. 2 pkls. for 25c. 



" Your Butterfly Pansies planted beside the finest mixed pansies of two 

 other leading seedsmen, were pronounced by alt the finest, though one of the 

 other packets cost me .50c. Your "Butterflies" bore the largest variety of rich 

 and rare colors and markings I have ever had in my 20 years' experience in 

 pansy culture. I most heartily recommend Henderson's Butterfly to pansy 

 lovers." Rev. ENOCH PICKERING, Dodgeville. Wis. 



"Words are inadequate to give a fitting description of the wonderful brilliancy 

 and beauty of your Butterfly Pansies. We have never seen such a rich diversity 

 of colors — such perfect form and large size. Many of the blooms were 3 inches 

 across, some more than that, on stems over 6 inches long." 



EDG.iR V.ilL. Yorktown Heights. N. Y. 



"I tried your Butterfly and Ruffled pansies last year side by side with other 

 growers' seeds and yours were the best, though not the most expensive."

HENDERSON'S GIANT RUFFLED PANSIES 



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 

 we'l above the foliage; they are nearly all five-blotched on the "Odier" 

 pattern, and contain rich combinations of coloring, including soine new tints 

 and blendings not met with in other Pansies. The plants are vigorous and 

 large, and flower abundantly. 

 Mixed Colors. Per 1,000 seeds, 60c. Pkt. 15c. 2 pkts. for 25c. 



Henderson's MAMMOTH PARISIAN PANSIES 



The Paiisian 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. 

 These Pansies have been brought up to a high standard of excellence, the 

 flowers being of fine substance, perfect shape and of mammoth size, measur- 

 ing, when properly cultivated, four inches across. A large number of these 

 Pansies are also very fragrant. 

 Mixed Colors. Per 1,000 seeds, mc. Pkt., \5c. 2 pkts. for 25c. 



HENDERSON'S GIANT MOTTLED PANSIES 



A distinct new type of Pansies of greatest merit. The flowers are of 

 giant size and are borne in profusion — well-grown they measure 3 to 314 

 inches across — and of most gorgeous effects, blotched, spotted, marbled, 

 veined, striped and blended, colors passing through reds, rose, pink, white, 

 purple, in beautiful and indescribable variegation. 

 Mixed Colors. Per 1,000 seeds, 60c. PW., 15c. 2 pkts. for 2oc.
