HY DRANGEAS. 
The most useful and ornamental flowering plants perhaps in our list. Wher 
grown in large pots or tubs for the lawn the effect of their great heads of flowers 
is striking. They are hardy with protection of leaves or litter in the open

soils containing iron some of the varieties assume charming shades of blue.

Double Hollyhocks. 
Hollyhocks are among the finest perma- 
nent garden plants, as being entirely hardy 
in most.places and free growing, they make 
a great display with little or no care. Our 
collection contains all the colors named, but 
as they are grown from seed an occasional 
departure from these shades may be ex- 
pected. For the same reason a small per- 
centage may be single or semi-double. We 
offer them in the following shades, which 
are the leading colors grown: Double 
white, double yellow, blush, double pink, 
double crimson and double scarlet. 
Price for the above varieties, 20c. each, 
$2.00 per doz.; all colors mixed, $1.50 per doz.
