DouBLB Hollyhocks. 



DREER'S SUPERB HOI.I.YIIOCKS. 



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 la%vn or in the 

 mixed border, where their colossal spikes of 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 will be beneficial. An occasional spraying with Bordeaux mix- 

 ture, 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. 



20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 

 Newport Pink. A charming variety, which originated in one of the 

 famous gardens at Newport, R. I., and for which we were awarded 

 a certificate of merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of London 

 in 1912. It is of strong, vigorous habit, producing colossal spikes 

 of very double pure pink flowers, a shade that is eagerly sought for 

 in all classes of plants. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 

 Allegheny. Mammoth flowers, wonderfully formed of loosely ar- 

 ranged fringed petals, which look as if made from the finest China 

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

 planis are of strong growth, sending up spikes 6 to 7 feet high; 

 mixed colors. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 

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

 usually of freer growth than the doubles, and present a very hand- 

 some appearance when covered with their artistic blossoms. 

 Choicest mixed varieties in all colors. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per 

 doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



We offer a splendid collection of Delphinium* this season, see page 200.
