DREER’S SUPERB HOLLYHOCKS. 
Stately, majestic, hardy plants, from 6 to 8 feet high, which are a necessary 
pazt 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 se- 
cured with any other flowering plant. 
The Hollyhock requires a deeply dug, well-drained soil, enriched with thor- 
oughly 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. 
20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.

ous habit, producing colossal spikes of very double pure pink flowers, a shade
