MAMMOTH BUTTERFLY PANSIES 
Compeied with the best from all over the world at the Columbian Exposition 
and were AWAKDED THE MEDAL 
T hese Pansies we arc 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 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, 
}3ugnots, Trimardeau, 6-blotchcd Odier, Giant English, French and German 
Hybrids, etc., resulting in the greatest variety of coloring, marking, blotching, 
vcining, etc., for brilliant and attractive beds. {Seecut.)

“I thought you would like to know regarding the Pansy Seed (Butterfly) 1 bought 
from you this year. They are all you say they are, lots of them S inches across and 
some over. They have beexi much admired by all who have seen theyn."

HENDEKSON’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, caus¬ 
ing them to be undulated and flvUed 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 extraordinary large and arc 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 
T he 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.

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* 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. These Pansies were awarded 
a prize at the Paris Exposition.

giant trimardeau pansies 
Y ears 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 goaf of the Giants, until now we have such a complete 
variety of colors, that we, this season, discard all ordinary-sized Pansies.
