CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



HOLLTHOCKS. 



DOUBLE HOLLTHOCSc 



These deservedly popular plants are almost un- 

 rivaled for the adornment of the lawn, being in 

 themselves marvels of beauty and elegance, and 

 when well arranged in clumps interspersed among 

 shrubbery they produce an effect which is striking 

 and pleasing beyond description. They succeed 

 usually in almost any good garden soil, but if this 

 is in any way, poor, it should be previously well 

 trenched and manured or strong spikes of bloom 

 will not result. A top-dressing of well-decayed 

 manure, or a prepared fertilizer, is beneficial when 

 the flower-spikes are pushing up. In a sunny posi- 

 tion in good soil and with good treatment Holly- 

 hocks frequently reach a height of 8 or 10 feet, 

 and flower from about 3 feet above ground nearly 

 to the top of the stems. After flowering is over the 

 spikes should be cut down to about 6 inches above 

 the base. The plants we offer are raised from 

 Currie's Superb Strain of Seed, and are really ex- 

 cellent.
