———— ———S== 
HENDERSON’S 
“New Double Strain.”’ 
We have given the above name to a grand collec- 
tion of Hollyhocks which we have produced after 
years of careful selection. These varieties are re- 
markable for their perfect double flowers, large size, 
HENDERSON'S HOLLYHOCKS, brillianey and variety of colors. ‘They are now much 
used in summer for cut flower work, particularly the double white. 
Hollyhocks are among the finest permanent garden plants, as, being entirely hardy in most places and free 
growing, they make a grand display with little or no care. Our collection contains al] 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 miroon, Price for the above varieties, plants from 2 in. pots, well established, 
$6.00 per 100; 3 in. pots, $8.00 per 100. 
DOUBLE PINK HYDRANGEA. 
(H. Stellata Rubra Piena.) 
A most novel and beautiful style of [lydrangea. The flowers, or more properly the bracts, are double and 
similar in appearance to a Polyantha Rose. It attains a height and width of three to four feet, and when in 
bloom is covered with its rosy red dowble blossoms, which, owing to their dowble form, remain perfectly fresh 
much longer than the single ones. Thisis one of the most distinct and useful plants evor introduced, and should 
beinevery collection. Equally hardy as the other Japan sorts. 
Price for large stock plants, $2.00 each. 
Strong plants from 4-inch pots, 75c. each ; $7.50 doz.

This beautiful genus of plants obtained its title of Iris—which is the Greek name for the rainbow—from the 
ancients as the most appropriate, because of the varied hues and tints of the flowers. ‘The cut gives only a faint 
idea of the beauty of form and wonderful coloring of this grand species. Robust growing flowering in midsummer
