UN BQUALED FORVCOEO = 
HE GRAND strain of Hollyhocks, types of which are shown on the Colored Plate, we have secured only after years of careful 
selection. We grow annually thousands of these and have for years selected those that show the most perfect form, 
largest size and purest color. From these carefully selected plants the varieties now offered have been produced, and the 
improvement has been so marked that the varieties of a few years ago could bear no comparison with them. The general 
tendency of the times toward picturesque gardening induced us to continue our labors on these until the present "grand result was 
reached, and no better subject could be obtained than the Hollyhock. It is doubtfulif any of our hardy plants are so well fitted by 
nature for use in so many directions. They are equally at home in the most modest garden or the most pretentious one; their 
majestic grace, their informal beauty, gives them a peculiar fitness for planting in flower gardens and borders; their massive beauty 
when planted in groups is unapproached by any other flowering plants; their striking appearance and gay colors, relieved by the 
rich green of their leaves, from an admirable background for any lawn picture. The season of bloom is so long that flowers may be had 
almost the entire summer, and nothing is more attractive in a large vase of cut flowers. In short, they combine every good quality 
of a garden flower. They are perfectly hardy and will grow and bloom in any ordinary fertile soil and in all sections of the country. 
We offer two grades of plants, but even the smaller size will give bloom the same season they are planted. We offer twelve 
varieties, but owing to want of space we only show six on the Colored Plate. Those not shown are in every respect equal to the 
others and are markedly distinct in colors. For the convenience of those who may want to obtain special sorts we number the 
varieties on the Colored Plate.

THE HARDY DOUBLE ENGLISH VIOLET. 
This is a plant that needs no words of praise to introduce 
it to our customers. It speaks foritself. Here wehave a 
Violet entirely hardy, perfectly double, a deep violet color 
and most deliciously fragrant. It surpasses the well- 
known ‘‘ Marie Louise” Violet in richness of color, being 
many shades darker, and far excels it in its delightful 
odor; this is one of its greatest merits. It is entirely free 
from disease of any kind, will grow and bloom in any 
garden and in any situation. Itis entirely hardy andcan 
be left out in the open ground all winter. Nothing is 
more appropriate for cemetery plots than the Hardy Dou- 
ble English Violet. Thousands have been prevented 
hitherto from planting double violets, because the varieties 
offered were not hardy, but now this difficulty is over- 
come. (See cut.) Price, 1st size, large flowering clumps, 
30c. each, $3.00 per doz. Young plants for this season’s 
blooming, 15c. each, $1.50 per doz., $8.00 per 100.
