EflDERSON'S 

 L — SUPERB 



Double Hollyhocks. 



Our Hollyhocks received the highest award at the World's Columbian 

 Exposition, Chicago, 1893. 

 Grand summer and autumn flowering plants, bearing long spikes of double 

 flowers, 3 to 4 inches across. They are old inhabitants of our gardens, but are 

 now so improved in doubleness and enlarged in size, under our special culture 

 and hybridization, as to be revelations of gorgeous beauty to those who have 

 not seen these improved sorts. Hardy biennial, 5 to 8 feet high. The seed we 

 offer has been saved from our unrivaled collection of choicest improved double 

 varieties. (See cut.)
