CHARLOTTE M. HAINES, ROCKFORD, ILL., SEEDS GROWN BY A WOMAN 
Double Sweet Pea 
Haines New Double Sweet 
Peas 
Instead of One Standard There Are Two 
or Three, Giving a Ruffled or Double 
Effect 
I have no hesitancy in offering this 
unique Sweet Pea to my many friends, 
as it has real merit, and is worthy of a 
place in every garden. Grows readily, 
climbs nicely and flowers easily. It is 
very showy and beautiful and under 
favorable conditions they will produce a 
large percentage of double flowers. 
Usually the double and single flowers 
are borne about half-and-half. They are 
tall-growing Sweet Peas. My mixture 
includes every desirable shade and color

BEAUTIFUL STOCKS 
Haines Evening Scented 
The Unequalled Perfume Plant 
No annual in cultivation, even including Mig¬ 
nonette, surpasses this in the delicate perfume of its 
flowers. The pink and lilac blossoms are partially 
closed during the day, in a yard, but expand and 
produce their fragrance in the evening. A few 
plants growing will emit a delicious perfume which 
may be detected half a block or more away. While 
the flowers themselves have no particular beauty, 
the plant is well worth growing for its delightful 
fragrance. Annual, 18 inches high. Pkt. 8c; 
Ya oz. 12c; Yz ° z - 36c. 
Ten Weeks Snowball 
Large-flowering, snowy-white flowers, very double 
and perfect in form. As a pot plant it is greatly 
superior to any other variety flowering for a long 
period, and at any time of the year, according to 
time of sowing. About 2 feet high. Pkt. 7c; 
Ya oz. 40c; Yz oz - $1.15.

grant flowers. They make fine bedding plants but

decorations. They do not flower as quickly from 
seed as Ten Week Stocks, but require about 12 
to 15 weeks. Mixed colors. Pkt. 10c; Ya oz. 42c:

scribed below for only. w

stems. A little protection from extremely hot sun, 
will be found beneficial. Pkt. 8c; oz. 25c.

How to Grow Sweet 
Peas 
Locate planting where there will be 
uninterrupted sunlight, in as good 
soil as possible, thoroughly mixed 
with well rotted cow manure. Seed 
should be sown before the first of 
April if weather will permit, about 6 
inches down in the trench, and cov¬ 
ered with an inch of firmly pressed 
soil. Thin out to 2 to 4 inches apart 
and a little soil may be drawn in to 
give greater depth to the roots. Vin- 
ing support in the form of brush, 
chicken wire or taut strings should 
be supplied at the time of sowing. 
Water sufficiently, pick often to en¬ 
sure continuance.
