HAINES NEWER AND BETTER ASTERS 
New California Giant Aster 
Asters have long held a prominent place in our flower gardens, and 
with these newer varieties you may be sure of having the finest in your 
neighborhood. 
One packet each of the five New Asters described below for only 45c. 
SWANSDOWN— When you see an Aster nearly as large as a Peony, perfectly 
double, and of purest white color, you will have seen the Swansdown, as 
nearly perfect as Asters can be. The immense flowers' are very double, 
with long, strong stems. Color is the purest white. Plants 2% feet 
high. Pkt. 10c. 
MAIDEN’S BLUSH—Identical to Swansdown except in color, which is a 
soft apple blossom pink. Pkt. 10c. 
HAINES EVERLASTING—A beautiful flower for winter bouquets. En¬ 
tirely new. Blooms from July to September. Pick the flowers when 
three-fourths open, and hang them up with the heads down until dried. 
2 feet high. Mixed colors. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 30c. 
LAVENDER GEM—Large fluffy or feathery flowers of great beauty. The 
coloring is an exquisite silvery white changing to a delicate shade of 
lavender. Height about 18 in. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 35c; V 2 02 . $1.00. 
SENSATION-—The brightest colored Aster I have ever grown. In the new 
“Sensation,” I have a color never seen in Asters, and a flower which is 
unequalled in quality, size and perfection of bloom. Color is the bright- 
est red ever seen in an Aster, being deep ox-blood. Height is about 18 
in., plants well branched, and completely covered with very double flow¬ 
ers, which are 4 in. in diameter. Stems are usually a foot long. Pkt. 
10c; Vs oz. 40c. 
Haines New Yellow 
The form of the double flowers is a perfect ball; the quills are close 
together and of salmon yellow color. The border petals are broad and of 
a lighter tint, seeming to enclose the flower like an old-fashioned bouquet 
paper. The flowers are borne upon long, erect stems, excellent for cutting. 
The plants, about 2 feet high, are of compact, bushy growth and most 
abundant bloomers. Pkt. 10c; Vs oz. 48c. 
Queen of the Market 
The earliest Aster known, being two to three weeks ahead of most of 
the other sorts. Of dwarf branching habit; 18 inches high, double hand¬ 
some flowers. Mixed colors. Pkt. 7c; Vs oz. 20c; oz. 99c. 
HAINES BEAUTIFUL ASTERS 
Mammoth Branching 
These magnificent blossoms are very large, often 
5 to 6 inches across, and being carried on strong, 
well-leaved stems, 15 to 16 inches long, are unsur¬ 
passed as cut flowers for vases and home decor¬ 
ations. Bloom from the end of August until frost. 
Snow White Scarlet Pink 
Lavender Purple Mixed 
Any of the above. Pkt. 8c; Vs oz. 35c; V 2 oz. $1.00. 
New California Giants Aster 
Huge Fluffy Blossoms Which Resemble Chrysanthe¬ 
mums Almost as Much as Asters 
This new class of Asters is second to none in 
the world today. It is entirely distinct inasmuch 
as each flower is borne at the end of a long stout 
stem which is 18 to 24 inches long and has no 
lateral growths along its entire length. Another 
feature is their extended period of bloom, the plants 
remaining in flower much longer than any other 
Asters I know of. Flowers are unusually large and 
beautiful with petals tightly curled over the en¬ 
tire flower. My mixture contains many colors 
ranging from pure white to purple. Pkt. 10c; 
Vg oz. 40c; V 2 oz. $1.30; oz. $2.45. 
ASTER 
Indian Summer 
This is the very newest in Asters 
and I am quoting the originator’s de¬ 
scription. A new Aster of distinctly 
Crego type with blooms measuring 
4 V 2 to 5 inches in diameter. Its color 
is identical with the favorite contin¬ 
ental color, cinnabar. The flowers are 
very double with attractively curled 
and twisted petals. Pkt. 10c. 
★Hardy Perennial Asters 
(Michaelmas Daisies.) Very beauti¬ 
ful, hardy plants for the border and 
among shrubbery. They form large, 
bushy clumps about 2 feet high and 
are covered with clusters of large, 
single flowers during the late sum¬ 
mer, forming one of the charms of 
the autumn garden. They thrive in 
any good garden soil, and if sown 
early, they will flower the first sea¬ 
son. Mixed colors. Pkt. 10c; V» oz 
35c; V 2 oz. $1.00.

differ from all other of their type in the larger size and greater profusion of 
their flowers, each plant bearing from 20 to 30 blossoms. . These loose, airy 
heads, made up of very long, wavy, twisted petals, have a distinct feathery ef¬ 
fect, resembling the finest Japanese Chrysanthemums. Plants grow 2 feet high.
