HENDEKSON'S 

 MAMMOTH 



BUTTERFLY PANSIES 



The most varied and beautiful blend of mixed Pansies in the world 



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, hand- 

 somest 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. (Seecut.) 

 Mixed Colors. Per 1,000 seeds, 75c Pkt. 25c. 



"My Butterfly Pansies from your seed are the admiration of all. I never 

 saw their equal for size, beauty, variety of coloring and profusion of bloom — ■ 

 and I have cultivated Pansies for twenty years."

Henderson's Giant Kuffled 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 flop or wilt. The 

 flowers are extraordinarily large and are borne on strong stems well above 

 the foliage; they are nearly all five-blotched on the "Odier" pattern, and con- 

 tain rich combinations of coloring, including some 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, 75c Pkt. 25c. 



Henderson's Mammoth Parisian Pansies 



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 combi- 

 nations 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 sub- 

 stance, perfect shape and of mammoth size, measuring, when properly cultivated 

 four inches across. A large number of these Pansies are also very fragrant. 

 Mixed Colors. Per 1,000 seeds, 75c Pkt. 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 3J^ 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. These Pansies were awarded a prize 

 at the Paris Exposition.

s™of NS Giant Trimardeau Pansies 



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 Hhere 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, this season, discard all ordinary-sized Pansies.
