HOLLYHOCK. 



10 



Few hardy plants combine as many good qualities, or lend themselves as readily to varied uses, as the 

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

 are invaluable. The flowers 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 Hollyhock requires a rich, deep soil, well drained, and will repay in quantity and 

 elegance of bloom any extra care. A slight protection during Winter will be beneficial. Seeds sown 

 during the Summer make strong blooming plants for the following year. PER PKT 



5954 Mammoth Fringed " Allegheny." 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 constitu- 

 tion, not being troubled with the disease so prevalent among Hollyhocks. (See cut) 15
