(St, Johii's-vvort.) 



Moserianutn. One of the very 

 best herbaceous plants in our col- 

 lection. The habit of the plant 

 is free and graceful ; it produces 

 long, slender, much-branched

 drooping toward the ends, ap- 

 parently from the weight of the flowers and buds, although the flowers face, so that none of 

 their beauty is lost. It is marvelously free-flowering, of large size, measuring from 2 to 2J 

 inclies in diameter; in color a rich golden-yellow, which is rendered still more effective by 

 the numerous yellow stamens and crimson anthers, and blooms continuously the entire sea- 

 son. (See cut.) Strong plants, 15 cts. each ; §1.50 per doz. 



DRKBR'S SUPERB DOUBLE HOLI^YHOCKS. 



Few hardy plants coml)ine as many good qualities as the Hollyhock. For planting in rows

 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 elegance 

 of bloom any extra care. A slight protection during the winter will be beneficial. (See cut.^
