 flowers, and nothing is more beautiful. Our collection was 

 grown from seed of our own saving, and we feel confident that 

 they will give the greatest satisfaction. Hollyhocks are among 

 the finest permanent garden plants, as, being entirely hardy 

 and free growing, they mate a fine display, with litUe or no 

 care. Double white; double yellow; double dark maroon; 

 double lilac; double pink; double white, lilac centre; double 

 blush; double rose.

 poses it is magnificent. It is

The Lion's Tail. 

 Copyrighted, 1885, by Peter Henderson & Co. 



"LION'S TAIL." 

 (Leonotus Leonuris.) 



■We offered this last season before we had seen it bloom, and 

 were most agreeably surprised this summer to find it to be a 

 most valuable plant. It blooms from September to December, 

 and if successive propagations are made of it late in spring it 

 can be got to bloom during the winter months, and will be a 

 most valuable novelty either for the sitting room or conservatory. 

 The drawing conveys but a meagre idea of it, as the spikes are 

 upwards of a foot in length and of a most vivid orange color, 

 which, next to blue, is the rarest color we have among flowers. 

 (See cut.) 



Price, 30c. each; $3.00 per doz. 



WISTARIA SINENSIS 

 ALBA. 



Flowers borne in long, drooping 

 clusters, as in the blue variety; 

 pure white in color, making a most 

 striking and elegant contrast. We 

 offer plants such as can scarcely 

 be found elsewhere. They average 

 from 4 to 6 feet in length. 



$1.00 and $2.00 each, 

 according to size. 



The plants came in perfect order, and are very fine. I thank you sincerely for your great liberality in sending so many extra plants.
