 ioned Hollyhocks. We grow them in separate 

 colors, namely, Maroon, Pink, Red, Salmon, 

 White and Yellow. Extra selected field-grown 

 roots. Each, 20c; dozen, $2.00; 100, $14.00.

 ergreen foliage, completely covered in spring

 tinted lavender. 10 to 12 inches.

IMPERIAL JAPANESE IRIS 

 (Iris Kaempferi) 

 These differ from the commonly grown, and 

 better known, German Irises offered later, in that 

 they carry their flowers on top of their stately 

 stems. The individual flowers are of truly enor- 

 mous size (6 to 8 inches in diameter) and of the 

 most gorgeous and richly varied colors imagin- 

 able. Blooming season, June-July. 

 Double White (Gold Bound) — Six large, open 

 milk-white petals, deep yellow at base.
