Giant -Flowering Marshmallows 



A wonderfully improved form of our greatly admired native INIarshmallow 

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

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

 been developed. These plants can be highl}^ recommended for all kinds of 

 plantings- They appear to be equally at home in all positions, having the 

 same vigor in dry and wet ground, and are perfectly hardj'. They grow from 

 5 to 8 feet high, and are verj' 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 of bloom produce bold and showy effects, which cannot be 

 secured with any other flowering plant. 



The HoUj-hock 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 bene- 

 ficial. An occasional spraying with BordeaiLX 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 certifi- 

 cate 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 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. 

 Iilixed colors only. 

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

 freer growth than the doubles, and present a very 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.; S18.00 per 100. 



HIBISCUS (Mallow) 



A desirable border plant, succeeding in any sunny 

 position, but doing best in a damp place; grows 3 to 5 

 feet high, with large foliage and large, showy flowers 

 of delicate coloring, produced during the entire summer. 

 Mallow Marvels. A robust type of upright habit, 



producing an abundance of flowers of enormous size 



in all the richest shades of crimson, pink and white; 



mixed colors.

in diameter; of a light rosy-red color, with darker ej-e.

crimson in the centre.
