CURRJE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE. 



HOLLYHOCK. 



The growing popularity of this grand 

 Hardy Perennial has induced us to make a 

 great effort to procure the choicest strains of 

 seed from every source. The latest addition 

 to our list "Black Prince," is a superb variety 

 and one that is sure to give the greatest satis- 

 faction . 



The seed we offer of this handsome flower 

 has been saved from named varieties of every 

 known shade of color, and can be confi- 

 dently recommended. Seed sown in June or 

 July will produce plants for blooming the 

 next summer. H P.
