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.)

“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 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 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.

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.

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 3^ 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.

HENDERSON'S 
SUPERIOR 
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, this season, discard all ordinary-sized Pansies.
