 forming a background for other flow- 

 ers we know of nothing better. The 

 §12E Ji^PfmilllM^BHBMSi^Hk seeds offered have been saved from a 



^BBmSmmKuBSe^^maB^BS superb strain of the finest double flow- 



ers. Seeds sown dufing the summer 

 will produce plants that will bloom 

 the following season. 



Mammoth. Fringed "Alle- 

 gheny." 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 cnished satin, and when cut are hardly re- 

 cognizable as a Hollyhock, 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.
