Henderson’s Mammoth Butterfly Pansies 
T HKSK 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 Kxposi- , 
tion, Chicago, where they competed with the best from all over the world. When i 
our unequalled collections of all types of pansies are in bloom we go over them j 
daily and any plant producing flowers of superlative merit is removed to our 1 
“Mammoth Butterfly” plot of pansies, where nothing but the largest, hand- ' 
somest and most perfect are allowed to remain. Con.sequently the seed is saved ' 
from the greatest varieties of types, including only the best of (liant Cassiers, i 
Bugnots, Tnmardeau, 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. (.S’ec cut.) Mixed Colors. i

“/ have grown large nanstVs before, but never saw (he ecfual of the 'Mammoth 
Butterfly' the seed of which 1 got from you last fall. I have a large bed of them; (he 
plants are 20 inches hiyh, and the stems of the blossoms .9 inches long, while the 
blossoms themselves are simply monstrous, each one a broad expanse of beauty ”

Henderson's Giant l^uffled Pansies. I 
A REM.VUKABLE strain of Giant Pansies, the flowers of which are so large 
an<l full that the broad petals seem to be “gathered” to the stein, caus¬ 
ing thein to be undulated and fluted from centre to circumference, not 
unlike “frilled” velvet. The unusual sub.^itance of the flowers, aided by these 
corrugations, thus enables them to present bold, open and handsome faces, even 
(hiring 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 blenciing.s not 
met with in other jiansies. The plants are vigorous and large, and flower 
abundantly. Mixed Colors. Per 1,000 seeds, 7i>c . Pkt. .25 
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 
ot 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 ot cinnamon, violet, canary and 
orange-yellow, black, garnet, light blue, indigo, cream, etc. These pansies*have 
wen brought up to a high standard of excellence, the flowers being of fine sub¬ 
stance, i^rfect shape and of mammoth size, measuring, when properly cultivated, 
tour inches across. .\ 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 arc of 
giant size and are borne in profusion— well-grown they measure ,3 to 
, I , inches across — and of most gorgeous effects, blotched, spotted, m.ar- 
mea, 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 KxposUion. Mixed Colors. Per 1,000 seeds, 75c., Pkt. .25

GIANT TRIMARDEAU PANSIES. 
Years of scientific culture, hybridization and selection in raising Pansies 
have gradually evolved a superior race of luxuriant, robust growth and (lecr)- 
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, excepting those used iip 
our cheapest mixture, offered on page 112. 
“7 think I have tried everybody's best pansies and none of them can hold a 
candle to Henderson's big ones.” GRACE POPE, Southwest Point, Canada.
