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—

ORCHID OR STAR FISH. The queerest Dahlia ever 
grown. Although this is a single Dahlia of medium 
height, it is a real sensation, 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.

^Haines Beautiful 
Delphiniums or Larkspurs 
CHOICEST PERENNIAL VARIETIES 
The Perennial Delphiniums hold an envied 
position in the flower gardens as their stately 
grace and rare beauty lend a charm not dupli¬ 
cated by any other flower.

tirely new race with tall, graceful spikes 
of flowers of exquisite colors, and unusual 
beauty and grace. You will find in my mix¬ 
ture rich purples, delicate blues, lavenders 
as well as innumerable color combinations. 
This variety is named Hollyhock on account 
of the height and immense blooms charac¬ 
teristic of this strain. Usually blooms the 
first year seed. Perennial 5 feet high. Pkt. 
15c; Vs oz. 50c.

feet in height. A distinct crimson cardinal 
color, something new in this fine flower.

flower combines the grace of the Annual 
Larkspurs with the stability, size and gen¬ 
eral worth of the Perennial Delphiniums.

fine and feathery foliage. The flower spikes 
are large and last nicely, either on the plant 
or when cut. Color, intense, gentian blue.
