HOXESTY, or SAXIN FEOWER. 
(L,unaria biennis.) 
Early, free-flowering plants, interesting for the 
silver-like tissue of the seed pods in their matured 
state. The flower is purple, but not very conspicuous. 
The seed pods are fine for skeletonizing and working 
in with other everlasting flowers for winter bouquets.

Hibiscus. 
HOUYHOCK. 
Grand summer-flowering plants, bearing long 
spikes of double flowers 3 to 4 inches across. A 
clump or line of them in any garden gives an effect 
not attainable with any other plant. For planting 
among shrubbery or forming a background for 
other flowers we know of nothing better. The seeds 
Heliotrope. offered have been saved from a superb strain of the 
finest double flowers. Seeds sown during the 
summer will produce plants that will bloom the following season. Hardy 
perennial. 5 to 8 feet. 
Mammoth Fringed " Allegheny." An entirely new departure in this 
grand old garden favorite. The flowers are of mammoth size, 5 to 7 inches in 
diameter and gracefully formed of loosely arranged fringed petals which look as 
though made of crushed satin, and when cut are hardly recognizable as a Holly- 
hock, having none of the formality of the ordinary type. The colors range from 
the most delicate shell-pink to dark red. Mixed colors. Pkt. 10 cts.
