DREER'S SUPERB 



HOI^EYHOCKS. 



Few hardy plants combine as many good qualities as the 

 Hollyhock. For planting in rows or groups on the 

 lawn, or for interspersing among shrubbery, they are in- 

 valuable. The flowers form perfect rosettes of the 

 most lovely shades of yellow, crimson, rose, pink, 

 orange, white, etc. The Hollyhock requires a rich, 

 deep soil, well drained, and will repay in quantity and 

 elet'ance of bloom any extra care. A slight protection 

 during the winter will be beneficial. (See cut.)
