Alirautiaca Major. A new Japanese variety of vigorous 

 habit and very Iree-Howering with large sweet-scented 

 trumpet-shaped flowers, which on well-established plants

 exterior bronzy-orange.

 excellent for planting among shrubbery.

 baceous plant, producing its large fragrant yellow flowers 

 during July and August in the greatest profusion ; the plants

DREER'S 

 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 interspersing 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 clumps that are certain to produce grand spikes of 

 flowers this season in the following colors, viz.: 



White, Pink, Salmon, Yellow, Maroon, and Brig^ht Ketl. 



20 cts. each ; |2.00 per doz.; $L5.00 per 100.

MAMMOTH DOUBI^B-FRINGBD HOI.I.YIIOCK: 

 "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 

 constitution. 

 Strong one-year-old-plants, in mixed colors only, 20 cts. each ; $2.00 per doz.; §15 00 per 100. 



Old-Fashioned Single Hollyhocks. 



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

 a limited stock of these old-time favorites.
