Dreer'5 Superb Double Hollyhocks. 



Few hardy plants combine as many good qualities as the Hollyhock. For planting in rows or groups on the lawn, or for inter- 

 spersing among shrubbery, they are invaluable. The flowers 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.) 



We offer extra strong one-year-old plants that are certain to produce grand .spikes of flowers this season in the following 

 colors, viz.: 



Wliite, Pink, Salmon, Yellow, Maroon, Sulphur and Brig-lit Red. 



20 cts. each ; §2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 

 Mixed Colors : 15 cts. each ; §1.50 per doz.; §10.00 per 100. i 



MAMMOTH DOUBLE-FRIIHGED HOI.I.YHOCK 

 " AI.I.EGHENY." 



An entirely new departure which has much to commend it. The mammoth flowers are 

 wonderfully formed of loosely arranged fringed petals, which look as if made from the 

 finest China silk, and when cut are hardly recognizable as a Hollyhock, having none of the 

 formality of the ordinary type. The color varies from the palest shrimp-pink to deep red. 

 The plants are of majestic growth, sending up spikes 6 to 7 feet high, and are of a strong 

 constitution.

per 100. 



Old-fashioned Sing^le Hollyhocks. 



Frequent calls for single-flowered Hollyhocks during recent years have induced us to 

 grow a limited stock of these old-time favorites.

HYPERICUM (St. John's-wort). 



Moserianuni. One of the very best herbaceous plants in our collection. The habit 



of the plant is free and graceful ; it produces long, slender, much-branched stems, leafy 



to the base and all drooping toward the ends, apparently from the weight of the flowers 



and buds, although the flowers face, so that none of their beauty is lost. It is marvel- 



ously free-flowering, of large size, measuring from 2 to 25- inches in diameter ; in color 



a rich golden-yellow, which is rendered still more eff^ective by the numerous yellow sta- 

 mens and crimson anthers, and blooms continuously the entire season. (See cut.) Strong 



plants, 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doz. 



IBERIS (Candytuft). 



A most desirable dwarf plant with evergreen foliage, which is completely hidden with 

 dense heads of flowers early in the spring. 

 Oibraltarica. A pretty hardy Candytuft, with large white flowers, blooming very early 



in the spring; useful for cutting. Requires a light covering of litter or leaves in winter. 

 Little GeiU. A dwarf, close-growing, compact plant, very free-flowering, becoming 



perfectly covered with its pure white blossoms ; is very hardy and evergreen. Well 



adapted for the rockery, border and bedding out. Also for pot culture. 

 Seiupervirens {^Evergreen Candytuft). Produces innumerable flat heads of pure white 



flowers during April and May, 

 — Fl. PI. A pretty double-flowered form of the above. 



15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



INULA. 



Ensifolia. A handsome dwarf variety not exceeding 6 inches in height, with showy 



bright yellow flowers all summer ; useful for the rockery. 

 Britannica. A vigorous-growing variety, about 2 feet high; producing from July to 



September an abundance of pleasing light yellow flowers. 

 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.
