LOVETT'S SUPERB HOLLYHOCKS, 



Everybody should have Hollyhocks. Not those with 

 small, dull hued, imperfect blossoms but the improved kind, 

 with large, perfect, exceedingly double, bright colored flow- 

 ers, (each one a veritable rosette). Though not generally 

 known, there has been as great improvement made in this 

 stately flower, during the past twenty-five years as there has 

 in the Canna, Dahlia, Chrysanthemum or Carnation. 



DOUBLE HOLLYHOCKS, Lovett's Superb. 



The strain I offer is positively the best in this or any other 

 country. The flowers are not only very large, wonderfully 

 perfect in make-up, but they are produced in far greater 

 numbers and for a much longer season than the Hollyhocks 

 of "Grandmother's Garden" — interesting and attractive as they 

 were. They will doubtless prove a revelation to thousands. 

 I grow them in six separate colors, namely: Maroon, Rose, 

 Bright Red, Salmon, Pure White and Yellow. 



Extra strong field grown roots, (all of which will flower 

 early the first season), each, 15c; doz. $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



Double Mixed. — The same as above but in mixed colors, 

 each, 12c; doz. $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



SINGLE HOLLYHOCKS. 



J. W. Elliott, in his "Plea for Hardy Plants," says, "Why 

 is it that single Hollyhocks are not offered for sale or grown 

 by Nurserymen and Plantsmen Surely they are the most 

 stately, picturesque and decorative Herbaceous Plants in cul- 

 tivation and I have never met anybody who did not greatly 

 admire them." The plants I offer were grown with the same 

 care as the double ones; but I have them in mixed colors 

 only. 



Strong field grown roots, each, 12c; doz. $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



"One of the lessons of Nature is, 'Plant in 

 masses; have an abundance.' Don't be stingy. 

 I have known people, with large farms, to 

 buy just a flower or two. One lady wanted 

 three Phloxes for 160 acres. She had room 

 for no more. Why be so penurious? Why not 

 treat yourself to a little enjoyment Copy 



Nature on a small scale, if you cannot on a 

 large one. When Providence knocks at your 

 door, bringing a profusion of gifts, don't in- 

 sult Him by picking out a flower or two and 

 neglecting the rest. He deals in abundance." 

 — C. S. Harrison.
