DREER'S SUPERB HOELYHOCKS 



Stately, majestic, hardy plants, from 6 to 8 feet high, which 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 pro- 

 duce bold and showy effects, which cannot be secured with any other flowering plant. 



The Hollyhock requires a deeply dug, well-drained soil, enriched with thoroughly 

 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 preva- 

 lent in some localities. We ofTer the best Double, Fringed and Single 

 sorts as under: 



Double White Double Yellow Double Maroon 

 Double Rose Double Red Double Mixed 



Newport Pink. A charming variety, for which we were awarded a 

 certificate of merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of England. It is 

 of strong, vigorous habit, producing colossal spikes of very double pure 

 pink flowers, a shade that is eagerly sought for in all classes of plants. 

 Allegheny. Mammoth flowers, wonderfully formed of loosely arranged 

 fringed petals. The colors vary from the palest shrimp-pink to deep 

 red. Mixed colors. 

 Single. Many prefer the single-flowering Hollyhocks. They are usually 

 of freer growth than the doubles, and present a very handsome appear- 

 ance when covered with their artistic blossoms. We can supply in 

 mixed colors only. 

 Price. Any of the above, 30 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. ; $18.00 per 100. 



NEIV GIANT-FEOWERING MARSH- 

 MAEEO^VS OR HIBISCES 



A wonderfully improved form of our greatly admired native Marshmal- 

 low or Rosemallow, in which not only the colors have been greatly inten- 

 sified, but in which flowers of enormous size, frequently 10 to 12 inches 

 in diameter, have been developed. These plants can be highly recom- 

 mended for all kinds of plantings. They appear to be equally at home in 

 all positions, having the same vigor in dry and wet ground and are per- 

 fectly hardy. They grow from 5 to 8 feet high, and are very floriferous, 

 blooming from early in July until late in September. We offer three dis- 

 tinct colors — Red, Pink and White — in strong two-year-old roots, 35 cts. 

 each; |3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. One each of the three colors 

 for $1.00.
