Dreer’s Superb Hollyhocks. 
Few hardy plants combine as many good qualities as the Hollyhock. For planting in 
rows or groups on the lawn, or for interspersing among shrubbery, they are invaluable. 
The flowers form perfect rosettes of the most lovely shades of color. The Hollyhock re- 
quires 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.)
