CHARLOTTE M. HAINES, ROCKFORD, ILL., SEEDS GROWN BY A WOMAN 
NEW—HARDY PERENNIAL 
GAILLARDIA, TORCH LIGHT 
Immense Flowers—Best Cutting Variety 
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% 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. 
Four O’Clock—(Marvel of Peru) 
No flower makes a prettier border than the old-fashioned Four 
O’Clock. Plants should grow to a height of 2 feet and make a com¬ 
pact hedge covered with blooms in early morn¬ 
ing and evening that rival the choicest garden 
flowers. It is one of the most brilliant and 
showy plants ever grown. Finest mixed. Pkt. 
6c; oz. 21c. 
Fuchsia 
Double and Single Mixed 
Fuchsias are as easily grown from 6eed as 
from cuttings, and from seed many splendid 
new varieties have been obtained. Start seed 
in the house, and watch the young plants care¬ 
fully until they are 2 to 3 inches high. They 
will flower freely the first year in the open 
ground, while the plants can be taken in the 
house in winter where they will flower still 
more freely. Pkt. 15c.
