HENDERSON'S 



MAMMOTH 



BUTTERFLY PANSIES 



Competed with the best from all over the world at the Col' 

 umbian Exposition and were AWAKDED THE MEDAL 



THESE Pansies we are very proud of. We have sold them for a numberof 

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

 and other merits; they were awarded a medal at the Columbian Exposi- 

 tion, 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 EngHsh, French and German 

 Hybrids, etc., resulting in the greatest variety of coloring, marking, blotching, 

 veining, etc., for brilliant and attractive beds. (See cut.)

"7 have grown large pansies before, hut never saw the equal of the 'Mammoth 

 Butterfly,' the seed of which I got from you last fall. I have a large bed of them; the 

 plants are 20 inches high, and the stems of the blossoms 9 itiches long, while the 

 blossoms themselves are simply monstrous, each one a broad expanse of beauty," 



THOMAS C. STARR, Newton, Mass. 



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, caus- 

 ing them to be undulated and fluted from centre 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 flo'wers are extraordinary 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.

Hendersons MAMMOTH PARISIAN PANSIES 



THE Parisian Pansies are distinguished by their magnificent and varied col- 

 ors 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 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.

HENDERSONS' 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 

 3\2 inches across — and of most gorgeous effects, blotched, spotted, mar- 

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

 purple, in beautiful and indescribable variegation. Tlwse Pansies were awarded 

 a prize at the Paris Exposition.

supTkiok''''' 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 cor- 

 respondingly 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 va- 

 rieties 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.
