HAINES NEWER AND BETTER ASTERS 
King Aster 
Asters have long held a prominent place in our flower 
gardens, and with these newer varieties you may be sure of 
having the finest in your neighborhood. 
One packet each of the five New Asters described below for 
only 45c 
SWANSDOWN—When you see an Aster nearly as large as 
a Peony, perfectly double, and of purest white color, you 
will have seen the Swansdown, as nearly perfect as Asters 
can be. The immense flowers are very double, with long, 
strong stems. Color is the purest white. Plants 214 feet 
high. Pkt. 12c. 
MAIDEN’S BLUSH—Identical to Swansdown except in 
color, which is a soft apple blossom pink. Pkt. 12c. 
HAINES EVERLASTING—A beautiful flower for winter 
bouquets. Entirely new. Blooms from July to Septem¬ 
ber. Pick the flowers when three-fourths open, and 
hang them up with the heads down until dried. 2 feet 
high. Mixed colors. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 32c. 
LAVENDER GEM—Large fluffy or feathery _ flowers of 
great beauty. The coloring is an exquisite silvery white 
changing to a delicate shade of lavender. Height about 
18 in. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 30c. 
SENSATION—The brightest colored Aster I have ever grown. 
In the new "Sensation” I have a color never seen in Asters, and 
a flower which is unequalled in quality, size and perfection of 
bloom. Color is the brightest red ever seen in an Aster, being 
deep ox-blood. Height is about 18 in., plants well branched, 
and completely covered with very double flowers, which are 4 
in. in diameter. Stems are usually a foot long. Pkt. 12c; 
Vs oz. 42c. 
HAINES BEAUTIFUL ASTERS 
Mammoth Branching 
These magnificent blossoms are very large, often 5 to 6 inches 
across, and being carried on strong, well-leaved stems, 15 to 16 
inches long, are unsurpassed as cut flowers for vases and home 
decorations. Bloom from the end of August until frost. 
Snow White Scarlet Pink 
Lavender Purple Mixed 
Any of the above. Pkt. 7c; Vs oz., 42c; y% oz. $1.50. 
New California Giants Aster 
Huge Fluffy Blossoms Which Resemble Chrysanthemums Almost 
as Much as Asters 
This new class of Asters is second to none in the world today. 
It is entirely distinct inasmuch as each flower is borne at the end 
of a long stout stem which is 18 to 24 inches long and has no 
lateral growths along its entire length. Another feature is their 
extended period of bloom, the plants remaining in flower much 
longer than any other Asters I know of. Flowers are unusually 
large and beautiful with petals tightly curled over the entire 
flower. My mixture contains many colors ranging from pure 
white to purple. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz., 44c; V 2 oz., $1.30; oz., $2.45. 
Haines Astermum 
The Beauty of the Aster—the size of the Chrysanthemum. 
The Astermums differ from all other of their type in the larger 1 
size and greater profusion of their flowers, each plant bearing 
from 20 to 30 blossoms. These loose, airy heads, made up of 
very long, wavy, twisted petals, have a distinct feathery effect, 
resembling the finest Japanese Chrysanthemums. Plants grow 
2 feet high. Mixed Pkt., 10c; Vs oz., 39c; V* oz., 95c; oz., $1.75. 
New Yellow Aster 
American Beauty

very robust growth, produc¬

Haines 
Mammoth 
Branching 
Haines New Yellow 
The form of the double flower'is a perfect 
ball; the quills are close together and of 
salmon yellow color. The border petals are 
broad and of a lighter tint, seeming to en¬ 
close the flower like an old-fashioned bouquet 
paper. The flowers are borne upon long, 
erect stems, excellent for cutting. The 
plants, about 2 feet high, are of compact, 
bushy growth and most abundant bloomers.
