GROWING PLANTS 



DDUDIB HOlIlJflOCKS. 



Hollyhocks are among the hnest permanent 

 garden plants, as being entirely hardy in most 

 places and free growing, they make a great dis- 

 play with little or no care. Our collection con- 

 tains all the colors named, but as they are grown 

 from seed an occasional departure from these 

 shades may be expected. For the same reason a 

 small percentage may be single or semi-double. 

 We offer them in the following shades, which are 

 the leading colors grown : Double white, 

 double yellow, double lavender, double 

 pink, double crimson, double purple 

 and double maroon. (See cut.) 

 Price, $4.00 per 100. 



GERANIUMS, ZONAL VARIETIES. 



We wish to call special attention to our stock 

 of these this season. The list of varieties has 

 been carefully and we trust judiciously pruned 

 so that our collection now contains absolutely the 

 best of the older sorts, and only such new ones as 

 are worthy of being listed. 



Double in 12 best market sorts from 3 in. pots. 

 $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. 



Single in 12 best market sorts from 3 in. pots. 

 $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000. 



It is seldom that such a 

 decided break occurs in a 

 race of plants as in this 

 instance in the Dahlia, 

 an entirely new class of 

 which is now offered in the 

 "TOM THUMB" varieties 

 illustrated here. They will 

 become most popular bedding 

 plants; their dwarf habit and 

 profusion of bloom, with 

 brilliant colors, making them 

 unrivaled for that purpose. 

 We are indebted to Mr. T. W. 

 Girdlestone, the secretary of 

 the National Dahlia Society 

 of England, for this new race, 

 and we control the stock in 

 the United States. Below we 

 give the names and short 

 descriptions of the varieties 

 we offer. The natural height 

 is only from 12 to 15 inches, 

 and about 24 inches across 

 the plant, forming a compact 

 little bush. 



MINIATURE. Clear bright yellow. 



PEARL. Deep mauve, very distinct 



TOM TIT. Orange scarlet, yellow ring in centre. 



Price, 50c. each.
