Co] HARDY DERENNIAL PLANTS |[ 
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 of bloom pro- 
‘duce 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 will be beneficial. An 
occasional spraying 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. Itis 
of strong, vigorous habit, producing colossal spikes ot very double pure 
pink flowers, a shade that is eagerly sought for in all 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. 
Single. Many prefer the single-Aowering Hollyhocks. They are usually 
of freer growth than the doubles, and present a very handsome appear- 
ance when covered with their artistic blossoms. We can supply in 
mixed colors only.

of their beauty is lost. It is marvelously free-flowering, of large
