CHARLOTTE M. HAINES, ROCKFORD, ILL., SEEDS GROWN BY A WOMAN 
HAINES SPECIAL 1934 NOVELTIES 
I AM offering on this page a splendid variety of sensation¬ 
al novelties. My Petunias are grown from Dienner fin¬ 
est strain. All the items listed on this page are very scarce 
and only limited quantity can be had, so please order early. 
Every One is Well Worth Trying 
WORLD BEAUTY PETUNIA 
New Double Pink Fringed 
It produces large double fringed flowers of the 
most beautiful rosy carmine c.olor, plants of 
dwarf compact growth and which makes this grand 
new sort particularly desirable for pot plants as 
well as bedding. Petunia growers will, we. be¬ 
lieve, do well to culture “World Beauty” in a 
large way. Packet 50c. 
GAILLARDIA, TORCH LIGHT 
Hardy Perennial 
Few plants can rival the perennial Gaillardia 
for gorgeous effect in the border from midsummer 
onwards, the main drawback being a somewhat 
loose and untidy habit. In “Torchlight,” however, 
the stems are much stronger and stiffer than in 
any variety hitherto produced, making the habit 
much more compact, and they attain a length of 
2 to 2 V 2 feet. The flowers are golden yellow with 
a rich maroon red center and often measure as 
much as 5 inches across. Both for the border and 
for cutting this new Gaillardia will be found of 
the greatest value. Packet 25c. 
LARKSPUR, GIANT IMPERIAL 
Lilac Queen 
Lilac Queen is a rich lilac shading to lavender 
blue. The plant has long, graceful upright 
branches very symmetrical, with long flowering 
trusses of exceptionally large double flowers. The 
rich lilac color so popular for home decoration and 
most essential for the progressive florist. Lilac 
Queen comes 100% true and surpasses all other 
Lilac varieties for color, length of stem, and beau¬ 
tiful habit. Packet 35c. 
New 1934 Introduction of 
GIANT SWEET PEA, BO-PEEP 
Bo-Peep is a dwarf erect early flowering Spen¬ 
cer Sweet Pea and on this account it makes a 
splendid pot plant also an excellent plant for 
bedding or border work. The color is a salmon 
pink very similar to the early variety Springsong 
with flowers just as large. The stems run from 
four to six inches, and the plants range from 
twelve to twenty-four inches in diameter. Bo- 
Peep is a profuse bloomer and its rich salmon 
pink color will lend itself admirably for color 
schemes in the garden, as it comes practically 
100% true. Packet 25c. 
Hollyhock—Imperator 
HOLLYHOCK, DOUBLE IMPERATOR 
A Gorgeous Variety 
The coloring includes various tints of great beauty, such 
as cerise-salmon with center of cream reflecting rose; deli¬ 
cate pink with center of rose flushed yellow; light yellow 
flushed rose with canary yellow center; but there are many 
other charming combinations of different tints. The plant 
branches from the base, forming a majestic clump, and the 
lateral stems can be utilized in vases for decorative pur¬ 
poses. This splendid new Hollyhock can be relied on to 
come quite 80 per cent true from seed. Packet 25c. 
SAINTPAULIA IONANTHA 
African Violet 
This new variety of the lovely “Usambara Violet” Saint- 
paulia Ionantha, is distinguished by its very dark, cordated 
leaves, strong growth and large flowers of a deep lavender 
color. Not only are these Saintpaulieas very free flourish¬ 
ing indoor plants, but they commence blooming while the 
plants are quite young—when sown in January they bloom 
in July and continue their display almost uninterruptedly; 
the contrast between the wealth of graceful flowers and the 
dark green shining foliage gives the plants an indescribable 
charm.— Packet 50c. 
SCABIOSA GRANDIFLORA 
Cattleya Flowering 
Cattleya is a rich rosy lilac of the beautiful orchid tone 
and a new shade for Scabiosa. The flowers are large and 
attractive. Cattleya will make a valuable addition to this 
very popular flower. —Packet 25c. 
SHIRLEY POPPY 
Begonia Flowered 
Cavalcade has the rich orange scar¬ 
let color of the Single Shirley Ameri¬ 
can Legion, brilliant and most attrac¬ 
tive. The large flowers are full be¬ 
gonia double, rich and beautiful, and 
they lend themselves admirably for 
floral arrangement. Packet 35c. 
NEW SILVER MEDAL SWEET PEA 
Bonny Briar 
Bonny Briar is a mammoth flowered rose pink richly 
endowed with the best qualities of a Spencer Sweet Pea. 
The standard and wings have the same delightful shade of 
rose pink on a white ground, the rose color is toned down 
with a glint of amber; this effect makes it sparkle under 
artificial light. The harmony of this combination is both 
rich and pleasing, and the beautifully waved flowers are 
of exhibition quality well placed on long stout stems. We 
consider Bonny Briar the best rose pink in its color class and 
will supersede all others. Awarded Silver Medal by the 
Scottish National Sweet Pea Society, 1932. Packet 35c. 
EARLY FLOWERING SPENCER 
SWEET PEA 
Eleanor Blue 
This is the new shade of blue which became so popular 
last spring in Washington. The color is a delightful Eleanor 
Blue with a silver sheen and is also spicy fragrant. The 
large bold standard is nicely waved and the wings are full 
and extended, both having the same exquisite shade. 
Eleanor Blue has also very long stout stems carrying four 
to five well placed flowers, it is a profuse bloomer and a 
vigorous grower. This new shade of blue has been greatly 
needed and will supersede all other light blue sorts. Pack¬ 
et 25c. 
NEW TANGERINE TOMATO 
If you want an attractive and delicious Tomato for salad 
and slicing purposes, to be sure to try at least a packet of 
the NEW TANGERINE variety. While I do not make a 
specialty of growing or offering vegetable seeds, this out¬ 
standing novelty is a variety worthy of consideration and 
appealed so much to me I want my friends to try it. The 
rich orange colored angular fruits measure about four inches 
in diameter. The flesh is golden yellow and of a rich tasty 
flavor though it does not contain as much acid as most red 
tomatoes. I am offering this new variety in packets of 
one hundred seeds each. Per packet, 15c each or 2 Pkts. 
for 25c.
