CURRIE 'S SUPERB HOLLYHOCKS 



The growing popularity of this 

 grand hardy perennial has in- 

 duced us to make a great effort 

 to procure the choicest strains of 

 seed from every source. The seed 

 we offer has been saved from 

 named varieties of every known 

 shade of color, and can be con- 

 fidently recommended. Seed sown 

 Jn June or July will produce 

 plants for blooming the next 

 summer. H. P.

HOLLYHOCK, ANNUAL HYBRIDS. 



FLOWER FROM SEED THE FIRST SEASON. 



In these new Hybrids we have a class of Hollyhocks showing all the 

 beauty and varied colorings of the old fashioned garden favorites with the 

 additional advantage that they can be flowered the first season from seed. 



Sown in the house or hotbed in March they can be had in flower by July, 

 while sown outdoors in May they can be flowered by August. They are 

 remarkably free flowering and contain a great diversity of colors. They 

 ■will without doubt become popular, as they save all the trouble of the old 

 fashioned sorts which require two years before flow-ering. This season we 

 are enabled to offer separately the Doubles and Singles in Mixture. Pkt.
