HENDERSON’S 
SUPERIOR GIANT 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 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, ex¬ 
cepting those used in our cheapest mixture, offered on page 76.

HENDERSON’S COLLECTION OF 12 GIANT PANSIES. 
This collection contains one packet each of 12 of the largest and most 
beautiful Pansies in cultivation. Price, 75c. 
Henderson’s Mammoth Butterfly Pansies. 
T HESE 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. When our unequaled 
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, handsomest and most perfect are allowed to remain. Con¬ 
sequently the seed is saved from the greatest varieties of types, includ¬ 
ing 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.

"/ have, i/rown large pansies before, but never saw the equal of the 
4 Mammoth Butterfly,' the seed of which 1 got from you last fall. I 
have a large bed of them; the plants are 20 inches high, and the stems 
of the blossoms !) inches 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, causing them to be undulated and fluted from 
centre to circumference, not unlike “trilled” velvet. The unusual 
substance of the flowers, aided by these corrugations, thus enables 
them to present bold, open and handsome faces, even during windy 
<)■ 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 contain 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 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 combinations pre¬ 
vailing 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 substance, 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. Mixed Colors. Per 1,000 seeds, 75c... Pkt. .25
