CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE. 



S\ 



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 con- 

 fidently 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. H. P.

NEW ALLEGHENY HOLLYHOCK. 



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 mammoth flowers are won- 

 derfully formed of loosely arranged petals, which look 

 as if made from the finest China silk. The colors are 

 shell pink, rose and ruby red, shading off deeper at the 

 center and exquisitely 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 persistent in 

 dowering, coming into bloom in July and lasting until 

 rost. A very attractive plant, and totally distinct from 

 the old type 10

Iu Black Prince we have obtained a new and novel color of these 

 old-fashioned garden favorites. The flowers are a beautiful 



glossy black, of fine form, very 

 double and freely produced. It 

 is a vigorous grower, and re- 

 produces itself true from seed... 10
