Superb Hollyhocks 



SUCH VAST IMPROVEMENTS have been made in this stalely flower durine recent years as to render it one of the most 

 decorative and beautiful of Hardy Perennials. The flowers of the double varieties are very large and so double that each 

 bloom is a large rosette. They are delightfully pure and clear in color and are closely set upon the stalks throughout their 

 entire length. Jt would be difficult to imagine anything grander or more imposing than a mass of them in the border, grouped 

 upon the lawn or among shrubbery. My seed was grown for me by a celebrated specialist at a cost of over $5.00 an ounce and 

 the strain I offer is positively the finest and best in the world. I offer strong field roots of these and other Hollyhocks, as follows: 

 Double Hollyhocks, indistinct colors, separate ..... $ 1.25 per dozen. $8.00 per 100. 



Double Hollyhocks, all colon> mixed x.oo " 6 00 per 100. 



Single Hollyhocks, all colors mixed ....... x.oo *' 6 00 per 100. 



Everblooming Hollyhocks, a floral prodigy 1.50 " 10.00 per 100. 



Allegheny Fringed Hollyhocks 1.23 " 8.00 per 100. 



The 'whole story of Hollyhocks is told in my catalogue of Hardy Perennial Plants, which describes also hundreds of other varieties and 

 species of these most interesting and charming flowers. 



I have thirty acres solid Iv planted with Hardy Perennials. That those who have never ordered of me. may at a small outlay, learn of the ex- 

 cellence of my Hardy Perennial Plants. I offer the following special collections by mail post-paid, all well developed plants which will bloom freely
