Hypericum (St. John's Wort) 



Moserianum. A most desirable border plant, of free and graceful 

 habit, producing long slender, mucli-branched stems, leafy to the base 

 and all drooping towards the ends, apparently from the weight of the 

 flowers and buds, although the flowers face, so none of their beauty is 

 lost. It is marvelously free-flowering, of large size, 

 measin-ing from 2 to 2^ inches in diameter; in color a 

 rich golden yellow, which is rendered still more effective 

 by the numerous yellow stamens and crimson anthers, 

 and blooms continuously the entire season; 2 feet.

 high, large clear yellow flowers in July and August.

Gieint-Flowering Marshmallows 



A wonderfully improved form of our greatly admired native Marshmallow 

 or RosemaUow, in which not only the colors have been greatly intensified, but 

 in wliich flowers of enormous size, frequently 10 to 12 inches in diameter, have 

 been developed. These plants can be highly recommended for all kinds of plant- 

 ings. Thej' appear to be equally at home in all positions, having the same vigor 

 in dr>' and wet ground, and are perfectly hardy. They grow from 5 to 8 feet high, 

 and are very floriferous, blooming from early in July until late in September. 

 We offer three distinct colors — Red, Pink and White — in strong two-year-old 

 roots, 35 cts. each; S3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. One each of the three 

 colors for SI. 00. 



Dreer's Superb Hollyhocks 



Stately, majestic, hardy plants, from 6 to 8 feet high, which are a necessary 

 part of every old-fashioned garden, and should also find a place interspersed 

 with shrubbery, as clumps on the lawn or in the mixed border, where their colossal 

 spikes o." bloom produce bold and showy effects, which cannot be secured with 

 any other flowering plant. 



The Hollyhock requires a deeply dug, well-drained soil, enriched with thoroughly 

 decayed manure, and should be liberally supplied with water during dry weather. 

 A slight protection throughout the winter wiU be beneficial. An occasional spray- 

 ing with Bordeaux mixture, which should be applied early in the growing season, 

 usually prevents the disease, which is prevalent in some localities. We offer 

 the best Double, Fringed and Single sorts as under. 



Double White Double Yellow Double Maroon 



Double Rose Double Red Double Mixed 



Newport Pink. A charming variety, for which we were awarded a certificate 



of merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of England. It is of strong, vigorous 



habit, producing colossal spikes of very double pure pink flowers, a shade that 



is eagerly sought for in aU classes of plants. 

 Allegheny. Mammoth flowers, wonderfully formed of loosely arranged 



fringed petals. The colors vary from the palest shrimp-pink to deep red. 



Mixed colors only. 

 Single. Many prefer the single-flowering Hollyhocks. They are usually of 



freer growth than the doubles, and present a verj' handsome appearance when 



covered with their artistic blossoms. We can supply the singles in mixed 



colors only. 

 Price. Any of the above, 30 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; §20.00 per 100.
