DREER'S 5UPERB HOLLYHOCKS 



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 invaluable. 

 The flowers form perfect rosettes of the most lovely shades of color. The Hollyhock re- 

 quires a rich, deep soil, well drained, and will repay in quantity and elegance of bloom 

 any extra care. A slight pratection during the winter will be beneficial. (See cut.)

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

 size, measuring from 2 to 2-J inches in diameter ; in color a rich 

 golden-yellow, which is rendered still more effective by the nu- 

 merous yellow stamens and crimson anthers, and blooms con-
