a strong vigorous bush.

Meehan’s Mallow Marvel 
is an absolutely hardy perennial of sur- 
> Me ssing beauty—the sensation of the plant 
world—the most beautiful flower creation of 
the last quarter-century. 
Its gorgeous, satin-petaled white, pink or 
crimson blossoms, fairly cover the tall, sym- 
metrical bushes, from July to September. 
Every yard or garden should have at least 
one Mallow Marvel of each color—more if 
there is room. Planted singly, or in masses 
it is decidedly the most conspicuous and deco- 
rative feature of the place.
