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,. ^tc. The Holly- 

 hock 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.)

 best herbaceous plants in our

 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 marvelously free-flowering, 

 of large size, measuring from 2 to 1\ inches in diameter ; in color a rich 

 golden-yellow, which is rendered still more effective by the numerous 

 yellow stamens and crimson anthers, and blooms continuously the 

 entire season. (See cut.) Strong plants, 15 cts each;. $1.50 per doz.
