CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE. 

 CURRIE'S SUPERB HOLLYHOCKS. 



The growing popularity of this grand hardy perennial has induced 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 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.
