3 or 4 inches long, and are very sweet scented. Pkt. 8c; 
Va oz. 25c; Vi 02 . 80c. 
Sweet William 
New Verbena Nana Erecta Violet 
Bouquet 
This new variety produces a plant eight inches high 
and eight inches in diameter. The color of the flower 
when it first opens is a deep violet tinged with garnet, 
changing to deep violet as the flower gets older. The 
eye is cream, making a rich color combination. The 
diameter of the flower head is two and a half to three 
inches and the individual florets are three-fourths 
inch in diameter. This charming variety has a very 
long blooming season and is strictly nana erecta type. 
It is very symmetrical in appearance and has from 
twenty to thirty trusses of flowers blooming at the 
same time. Pkt. 15c; 2 Pkts. 25c. 
Haines Mammoth Ver¬ 
benas 
Flowers of unusual size, individ¬ 
ual blossoms sometimes being as 
large as a twenty-five cent piece, 
while the trusses of bloom are enor¬ 
mous, and the range of color more 
vivid than in any other mixture. For 
garden beds or massing, the Verbena 
is unrivaled; flowers of the most bril¬ 
liant color, blooming continually from 
spring until late in the autumn. Ver¬ 
benas are more easily grown from 
seeds than from cuttings and such 
plants are more vigorous and free- 
flowering. 
Verbena—Violet Bouquet 
FINE MIXED—A nice as¬ 
sortment of colors care¬ 
fully blended. Perennial. 
Pkts. 8c; Vs oz. 24c; Vi 
oz. 45c. 
Verbena—Beauty of Oxford 
For the first time I am able to offer seed of this beauti¬ 
ful flower, which until this year, could be grown from cut¬ 
tings only. While following closely the color of Beauty of 
Oxford, it also inherits a touch of salmon pink giving 
color shades from clear rose-pink to reddish-rose making 
this the brightest colored Rose Verbena ever produced from 
seeds. Pkt. 15c. 
Haines New Bush Verbena 
Entirely Distinct from Other Verbenas as It Is of Upright 
Compact Growth—A Plant in Full Bloom Is 
Very Attractive 
If you want something new and different, by all means 
try my novelty—The Bush Verbena. This plant, instead of 
spreading over the ground, forms an erect and compact bush 
about 18 inches high and a foot across and is covered with 
true Verbena blossoms, of large size. In my trials nearly 
80 per cent of the plants came in true Bush Form. Pkt. 
10c; Vs oz. 35c; V 2 oz. 99c. 
Haines Superb New 
Velvet Flower 
The graceful flowers borne 
on long stems range in color 
from the most delicate shades 
of light blue to the richest 
brown and maroon with the in¬ 
side of the petals and throats 
striped with contrasting shades. 
The quaint funnel-shaped flow¬ 
ers somewhat resemble those 
of the Petunia, and are borne 
on long stems in great profu¬ 
sion. Pkt. 10c; Va oz. 25c; 
V 2 oz. 85c. 
Thimble Flower 
A new and distinct variety 
which will be prized for its 
rich feathery foliage, and the 
exquisite blue of the flowers 
which are fully an inch in di¬ 
ameter and somewhat resemble 
a thimble. Easily grown an¬ 
nual 2 feet high. Flowers may 
also be dried and used as an 
everlasting. Pkt. 6c; Va oz. 
18c.
