Haines Double Dahlias 
Haines Gorgeous Dahlias 
Everyone knows and admires the lovely Dahlia, 
but comparatively few are aware that it can be 
grown so easily from seed, and flowers so beauti¬ 
fully the first season. Most Dahlias grow from 3 
to 4 feet high— One packet each of the five 
Dahlias described below for only. 
MIGNON 
Blooms in 3 months and continues until frosts. 
Many colors including delicate shades. Plants about 
15 inches high. Pkt. 8 c; Vs oz. 32c; V 2 oz. 90c. 
Helichrysum 
(Everlasting Straw Flower) 
Succeeds in any good garden soil, 
prefers sun. The large, double flowers 
of rich, glittering colors in August and 
September make fine display in beds and 
borders, but are especially grown to 
dry for winter use inside. For this, 
they should be cut when flowers are 
about one-third open and with as long 
stems as possible: foliage removed: tied 
in bunches and hung up with heads 
downward in some dry place until stems 
are thoroughly dry. Height of plant 2 
to 8 feet. We offer these choice colors 
and our special mixture.

^ArHeliopsis—Lemoine 
Also Known as Orange Sunflower 
An easily grown perennial about 3 
feet high, with large double flowers of 
brilliant golden yellow, somewhat 
similar to an enormous Zinnia. _ Fully 
twice as large as other Heliopsis. 
Spring sown seed should produce flowers 
in July. Stems are long and stout. 
Besides being a very showy plant in 
the garden, it is also one of the peren¬ 
nials for cut flowers. Pkt. 10c; Vs 
oz. 48c. 
Ice Plant 
Handsome and curious trailing plants 
for hanging baskets, vases and the gar¬ 
den, the foliage appearing as though 
covered with ice crystals. This is one 
of the most beautiful and effective 
basket plants that can be grown. Dwarf 
annual trailer 6 inches high, makes a 
fine show in the Rock Garden. Pkt. 
7c; Vs oz. 15c; V 2 oz. 50c. 
NEW COLLERETTE 
The plants have artistic single flowers with an 
additional row of short petals around the disc, 
which is often of a different color from the rest of 
the flower. Mixed. Pkt. 7c; Vs oz. 35c; V 2 oz. 98c. 
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 man¬ 
ner 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. Pkt. 10. 
DOUBLE CACTUS MIXED 
A new class of Dahlias, with large double fantas¬ 
tic blossoms which in shape and brilliancy of color, 
rivals the finest Cactus. Pkt. 10 c; Vs oz. 50c. 
HAINES BEST DOUBLE MIXED

latest show and decorative varieties—see illustra¬ 
tion above. Pkt. 10 c; Vs oz. 35c. 
Variegated Japanese 
Hop 
(Humulus Japonicus Variegatus) 
One of the most rapid climbers 
grown; seed can be sown in the open 
ground in the spring and it will attain 
enormous dimensions very quickly. The 
foliage is luxuriant, the leaves beauti¬ 
fully splashed with silvery white. Pkt. 
7c; Vs oz. 10 c; Vz oz. 40c. 
Baby Primrose 
PRIMULA MALACOIDES. The freest- 
flowering of all Primroses: sprays of 
fragrant rosy lilac flowers. Blooms 
in three months from seed. Pkt. 12c. 
Smilax 
One of the finest climbers or trailing 
plants for the house. Leaves a deep 
glossy green. Flowers white and frag¬ 
rant. Soak the seed in water for a day 
to start growth, and keep the plant 
rather moist. Pkt. 7c; Vs oz. 16c;

New Lace Flower 
Unique Annual of Dainty Alice Blue 
Shading 
This pretty and interesting annual 
blooms most profusely from July until 
November: plants grow about 18 inches 
high and have as many as fifty flowers 
open at one time. The exquisite pale 
lavender blossoms are dainty and ex¬ 
cellent for cutting. The flowers re¬ 
semble the delicacy of Queen Ann’s lace. 
A bed of New Lace Flower .is unusually 
attractive and gives a touch of color no 
other garden flower can equal. Pkt. 
10c; Ve oz. 35c. 
Pansy—Swiss Giants 
A new race of Pansies with unusually 
bright and varied colorings. Flowers 
are carried on long, strong stems and 
are enormous in size—often 3 inches 
across—perfectly round with overlap¬ 
ping petals, making a heavy, almost 
duplex flower. Rare and exquisite 
colors hitherto unknown in a Pansy 
are to be found in this new variety. 
I consider Swiss Giants the largest 
Pansy grown and the most brilliantly 
colored. Flowers 3 and 5 blotched.
