Dreer’s Superb Hollyhocks 
Stately, majestic, hardy plants from 6 to 8 feet high. They 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. 
Hollyhocks require a 
deeply dug, well-drained 
soil, enriched with thor- 
oughly decayed manure. 
They should be liberally 
supplied with water dur- 
ing dry weather. Slight 
protection throughout 
the winter will be bene- 
ficial. An occasional 
spraying with Bordeaux 
mixture, which should 
be applied early in the 
growing season, usually 
prevents rust which is 
prevalent in some lo- 
calities. 
Allegheny. Mammoth 
flowers, wonderfully 
formed of loosely ar- 
ranged, fringed petals. 
The colors vary from 
the palest shrimp 
pink to deep red. 
Mixed colors only.

Stately plants, 5 to 6 
feet high, with elegant 
large double blooms of 
exquisite texture.

China with large, broad petaled flowers of a very bright yellow. 2 feet.
