Allegheny Hollyhock. 
MAMMOTH DOUBLE FRINGED. 
The Allegheny hollyhock is different from the 
older forms and greatly superior to them. The 
height is about the same, but the abundant 
fiowers which are 3 to 5 inches in diameter, and 
either double or half double, are so finely fringed, 
cut and curled as to suggest the bloom of some 
new species of plant. The colors are pink, rose 
and ruby red, darkest at the centre. The flowers 
drop as soon as they fade, and do not remain 
on the stem after they are dead and brown, as in 
other hollyhocks. The blooming season is a 
long one, and the plants are as conspicuous as 
they are beautiful. The Allegheny hollyhock is 
perfectly hardy, and will thrive anywhere under 
good treatment, and will prove invaluable for 
| backgrounds or clumps in lawn or landscape 
work. It will come up year after year, bloom- 
ing in perfection the second year and afterward. 
-acket. 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.

and Blue. In this charming new lobelia we have 
a color combination that is as beautiful as it is

all over America on account of its brightness as

| new lobelia of compact habit, growing 10 to 12

MAMMOTH ALLEGHENY FRINGED HOLLYHOCK. 
MIGNONETTE BISMARCK. 
FOUR GRAND MIGNONETTES. 
THES NEWEST AND BEST SORTS. 
Golden Jewel.—This new dwarf mignonette makes a compact growth. It has strong stems 
and abundant foliage, and is crowned with flowers of enormous size and of obtuse, dense form. 
The color is an intense bronze-yellow, a shade not heretofore found among mignonettes. I con- 
Sider it the best yellow mignonette in the world. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
Bismarck. — A mignonette bearing 
reddish colored flowers nearly double the 
size of the popular Machet variety, from 
which it originated. The flowers are py- 
ramidal in shape, well colored and highly 
perfumed. The foliage is rich and slightly 
crumpled. It is well adapted to pot cul- 
ture. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
Defiance. — This has been the best 
mignonette on my trial grounds for some 
years past. Its very showy spikes are of 
remarkable size and delicious fragrance. 
Its habit of growth is strong and its bloom 
profuse. The large individual florets stand 
out boldly, and produce an always attrac- 
tive head. It has the ability to last long as 
a cut flower. Pkt., 10¢.;3 pkts., 25c.; oz., 75c. 
Nineteen Hundred. — This valuable 
novelty among mignonettes makes an 
almost incredible mass of charming 
golden yellow flowers. The plant branches 
in a remarkable way, forming a semi- 
globular bush 2 feet in diameter. <A single 
lant has produced 400 flower spikes. 
-acket, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 
For 25 Cents I will send one packet 
of each of the above Mignonettes.
