HENDERSON’S 
Mammoth Butterfly Pansies 
Competed with the best from all over th6 world at the Columbian and 
other Expositions and were AWARDED MEDALS 
Henderson’s Mammoth Butterfly Pansies—in mixture — have been famous many 
years for their superior size, perfection of form, marvelous diversity of colorings, 
superb markings, as well as for robust plant growth—deep rooting frost and heat 
resisting qualities and freedom of bloom. This “Butterfly” race originated 
with Mr. Peter Henderson — who was particularly fond of pansies and could 
be seen almost any morning during “pansy season” walking around the 
beds— and through his pansy trials from the best American, English, 
Scotch. French and German pansy specialists. A boy with trowel and 
“flat” followed and lifted any plant indicated by Mr. Henderson—which 
meant that it fulfilled all of his expert and critical requirements and was 
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 
elimination has been persisted in by us ever since, and from the legion 
of “most beautiful” pansies among Henderson’s Butterflies we have chosen 
this offering. 
Henderson’s Mammoth Butterfly Pansies in Mixed Colors, 15c. per 
pkt. of 150 seeds; 2 pkts. for 25c.; 00c. per 1,000 seeds. Are best 
described by those who have grown them. 
WORDS OF PRAISE FROM CUSTOMERS 
“ The Blitter fly Pansies which I sowed last August and carried over the 
winter in cold frames have been the wonder and admiration of all who have 
seen them . 1'hey have been in constant bloom since early spring.” 
Miss ETHEL M. ZOLLMA N, Pittsford, N. Y. 
tl I had the Mammoth Butterfly Pansies last summer and was delighted 
with them. In fact 1 never expect to have a more perfect Pansy bed than I 
had last summer. We picked some after the snow came.” 
Miss HELENE BOYCE, 12 Pine St., Tunkhannock, Pa. 
** The Butterfly Pansies wsre handsome and bloomed till snow covered 
them. Our neighbors' early Pansies, which they bought in bloom from the 
flower dealers, had ceased to bloom in July and early August.” 
GUST A VUS A. RICE, 4923 Greene St., Philadelphia, Pa. 
“ We are very much pleased with the Butterfly Pansy seed you sent us 
last year .” 
CHRIS. MESSERLE, Loudonville, N. Y. 
'*/ had some of your packages of flower seeds, and my Asters and Pansies 
from them were magnificent. All my neighbors want seed from me.” 
Mrs. E. F. WADE, Knappa, Oregon. 
“/ had a bed of Butterfly Pansies last spring which was admired by 
everyone who saw it and I want another just like it next spring.”

WORLD RECORD EA rK r f^&g 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 earliness in flowering. With slight protection, such as meadow 
hay, leaves or similar material, full-grown plants winter over in the 
open ground—even in very cold latitudes — and commence flowering 
in early spring with the Sncwdrop and Crocus, or from four to six 
weeks earlier than other Pansies. In fact, we gathered flowers several 
times during the past winter by lifting the snow-covered hay. Even 
spring-sown plants will commence flowering much sooner than other 
Pansies, and the deep fibrous-rooted plants—being less susceptible to 
hot weather — continue to bloom in increasing profusion 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 ordinary 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 . Pkt. 25c. 
Ice King. Silvery white, with deep blue blotch on lower petals. .. . 25c.
