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 of this handsome flower 

 has been 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 required to jjrotect them from our 

 Northern winters. I'lanted 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.

NEW MAMMOTH FRINGED ALLEGHENY HOLLYHOCKS. 



An entirely new departure in this grand old favorite, produc- 

 ing flowers so different from the old conventional ones that, 

 but for the habit of the plant, it would not be taken for a 

 Hollyhock. The mammoth flowers are wonderfully formed 

 of loosely arranged petals, which look as if made from the 

 finest China silk. The colors are shell pink, rose andrubyred, 

 shading off deeper atthe center andexquisitely tinted towards 

 the edges The plants are of majestic growth, and send up 

 spikes of bloom from 6 to 7 feet high. 

 It is free and persistentin flowering, 

 cominginto bloom in Julyand last- 

 ing until frost. A very attractive 



^ plant, and totally distinct from the 

 \^ old type 10
