HOLLYHOCK — BLACK PRINCE. 



SUPERB HOLLYHOCKS. 



The growing popularity of this grand hardy perennial has induced us to make a great effort to procure the choices! 

 strains of seed from every source. The seed we offer of this handsome flower hasheeu saved from named varieties of every 

 known shade of color, and can be confidently recommended. Seed sown in June or July will produce plants for blooming 

 the next summer. These grand old favorites should be represented in every garden. They will amply repay the trouble re- 

 quired to protect them from our northern winters. Planted in rows on the edge of lawns or in 

 clumps in shrubbery they are marvels of beauty and elegance. Their stately spikes of bloom of 

 such varied and bright colors greatly improve the appearance of any garden. H. P.
