QUICK AND EVER PLOWKRIN'f: FORGET-ME-NOT. 



NEW MAMMOTH FRINGED 



Allegheny Hollyhocks. 



An entirely new departure in 

 this grand old favorite, producing 

 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 mam- 

 rnoth flowers are wonderfully 

 formed of loosely arranged petals, 

 which look as if made from the 

 finest China silk. The colors are 

 shell pink, rose and ruby red, shad- 

 ing off deeper at the center and ex- 

 quisitely tinted towards the edges. 

 The plants are of majestic growth, 

 and send up spikes of bloom from 

 G to 7 feet high. It is free and 

 persistent in flowering, coming in- 

 to bloom in July and lasting until 

 frost. A very attractive plant, 

 and totally distinct from the old 

 type. Per packet, 10 cts. 



FORCET-ME-NOT. 



Quick and Ever=Flowering— This remarkable Forget-Me-Notmaybe treated 

 as an annual and sown at any time of the year, beginning to flower in 6 to 8 weeks 

 from time of sowing. In habit of growth the plants are strong and bushy, and 

 when fully grown they are perfectly covered with flowers of the most lovely blue. 

 If sown in July, and then planted in pots and brought into the house, they Avill 

 continue flowering all through the winter. Per packet, 15 cts.

 shades of chamois, purple brown, dark scarlet and pink, beautifully marked in 

 the throats with lovely gold veins; some are of a magniflcent velvety-violet 



color, with a bright carmine 

 tinge to the flower, giving it the 

 appearance of an extra large 

 Petunia. They grow to a 

 heiglit of 2}^ to 3 feet, and 

 present a very striking appear- 

 ance, either as individual plants 

 or in mixed borders. Per pack- 

 et, 15 cts.
