HONESXY, or SAXIN FLOWER. 



(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 otiier everlasting flowers for winter bouquets. 

 Blossoms the second year from seed, and then dies. 

 Hardy biennial. 2 feet high. Pkt. 5 cts. 





HoUyhock. 



HOI^I^YHOCK. 



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. 



3raminoth 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.
