DREER'S GARDEN CALENDAR 



HOLLYHOCKS. 



Few hardy plants combine as manv good qualities, lend themselves as readily to varieduses, or are as free from 

 disease as the Hollyhock. For planting in rows or groups on the lawn, or for interspersing among shrubbery, they 

 are invaluable. The flowers, which are as elegant in shape as a Camelliii, form perfect rosettes of the most lovely 

 shades of yellow, crimson, rose, pink, orange, white, etc. It is not surprising that this old favorite should again 

 become popular; for, by careful selection, the flowers have been so much improved, that they are marvels of beauty 

 and elegance. The Ho'llyhock requires a rich, deep soil, well drained, and will repay in quantity and elegance of 

 bloom any e.\tra care. A slight protection during winter will be beneficial. We make a specialty of Hollyhocks, and 

 offer them in the best possible condition for immediate or permanent effect.
