CHARLOTTE M. HAINES, ROCKFORD, ILL., SEEDS GROWN BY A WOMAN 
Haines Gorgeous Dahlias 
Everyone knows and admires the lovely Dahlia, but comparatively 
few are aware that it can be grown so easily from seed, and flowers 
so beautifully the first season. Most Dahlias grow from 3 to 4 feet 
high—One packet each of the five Dahlias described below 
for only ... *IUC

colors including delicate shades. Plants about 15 inches high.

additional row of short petals around the disc, which is often of a 
different color from the rest of the flower. Mixed. Pkt. 7c; oz. 
35c; Yz oz. 98c. 
ORCHID OR STAR FISH. The queerest Dahlia ever grown. Al¬ 
though this is a single Dahlia of medium height, it is a real sensa¬ 
tion, as the petals are twisted in such a manner as to give them a 
star effect. The colors are varied usually with another color on 
the reverse of the flower. As the flower opens, the twisted petals 
give it a bizarre effect. Pkt. 8c. 
DOUBLE CACTUS MIXED. A new class of Dahlias, with 
large double fantastic blossoms which in shape and bril¬ 
liancy of color, rivals the finest Cactus. Pkt. 10c;

from the best and latest show and decorative varieties—

slowly.

of the Paris Daisy, and it is sky blue, with a blue 
disc. It makes a very pretty object for summer 
decoration in the flower garden, of easy growth, and 
the plant may be had in flower all the year round. It 
is allied to Cineraria, and requires about the same 
treatment. A fine winter bloomer, 3 feet high. Pkt.

the winter. The flower stems are 2 feet long, and are 
very graceful, bearing a large daisy-like blossom, which is 
3 to 4 inches across. The flower petals have a velvety

hybrid mixture, the beautiful crimson in particular. Pkt.
