Barometer 
If the leaves stand up¬ 
ward from the twig, the 
weather will be beautiful. 
If they stand out straight, 
changeable weather is ex¬ 
pected. As the leaves 
droop, the indications range 
toward rain, when the 
leaves hang straight down¬ 
ward, water may be ex¬ 
pected to fall in torrents. 
A local storm is indicated 
by the curling together of 
the leaves, and a fog by 
the bending of the twigs. 
Seeds are of good size and 
sometimes slow to germi¬ 
nate; should be soaked in 
lukewarm water before 
planting. Pkt., 10c; *4 oz.,

Haines Fine Quality Seeds and Plants 
Mrs. I. M. Hill, 1953 Evelyn Ave., Mem¬ 
phis, Tennessee, writes: I am well pleased 
with the Golden Gleam Nasturtium. I 
believe every seed came up, and although 
I did plant rather closely the bed has been 
wonderful and everyone to whom I showed 
the flowers were surprised as not many in 
this section have planted them, but I am 
sure many more will be planted next sea¬ 
son. They have been much admired. We 
all enjoyed these new variety of nastur¬ 
tium. 
Mrs. Julia C. Martin, 336 
N. Linda Rosa Ave., Pasa¬ 
dena, California, writes— 
In my last year’s order I 
had Regal Lily Seeds, the 
result was 47 plants out of 
a 15c pkt. I am waiting 
results, as I transplanted 
them last fall. I have had 
very good luck with all my 
seeds I purchased from 
you.
