 ditional merit of being some- 

 what fragrant. Packet 25 cts.

INULA ENBIFOLIA. 



NEW HOLLYHOCK. 

 Black Prince. 



After years of careful hybridizing we 

 are enabled to add to the many beautiful 

 colors of Hollyhocks already in existence 

 a genuine black variety, a novelty that 

 cannot fail to meet with general favor. 

 All who have seen it speak of its beauty 

 in the highest terms. The flowers are a 

 beautiful glossy black color, of fine form, 

 very double and freely produced. It is 

 a vigorous grower and reproduces Itself 

 true from seed. Of all the beautiful va- 

 rieties of Hollyhock grown on our 

 grounds last season none attracted the 

 attention of the public so much as the 

 Black Prince, and few, if any, of the nu- 

 merous grand colors now in existence 

 are worthy of the prominence now at- 

 tained by it. Packet, 35 cts.
