hoi,i,yhocks. garden phi,ox. 



Allegheny. A grand innovation and a great improve- 

 ment upon the old st3 T le of double Hollyhocks. Fine trans- 

 parent, fringed Chrysanthemum-shaped flowers of rich and 

 "brilliant colors, looking as if made of crushed silk, so fine are 

 they in texture. In size they are seldom less than five inches 

 (most of them are larger, some being as large as seven inches 

 across). It flowers continually through the hottest weather, 

 from July until frost at the North, and all the year round at 

 the South. The colors are clear and transparent, shining 

 with rainbow effect. The great height of the tall pyramidal 

 spikes studded with immense, exquisite flowers, renders them 

 of majestic appearance. Perfectly hard}'. All colors mixed. 

 Each, 15c; dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



Double Hollyhocks. LoveWs Superb Strain. The 

 great improvements that have been made in this old favorite 

 cause it to be now one of the finest of all hard}- garden plants. 

 Their tall spikes of intensely double flowers, 3 to 4 inches 

 across, of rich and pure colors, "are very effective and beau- 

 tiful. I can confidently recommend this as the best strain in 

 the countn-, and especially noted for the brilliancj r _ and 

 purity of its color and perfection of form. All colors mixed, 

 each, 12c ; dozen, $1.25 ; 100, S8.00. 



MAMMOTH DAISY. 



Chrysanthemum Lacustre. Unsurpassed by any 

 hardy plant for abundance of bloom, which continues through- 

 out the whole of summer and autumn ; forming a perfect 

 sheet of bloom over the entire plant. The flowers are very 

 large, often four inches in diameter, pure snowy-white with 

 yellow centre. 



There are very few plants in which such wonderful improve- 

 ment has been made of recent years as in Hardy Phlox. In- 

 stead of tall, naked stems with small tufts of meager flowers 

 at their heads, for a little time in midsummer, we now have 

 varieties with dwarf stocky, well furnished stems, crowned 

 with immense panicles of bloom of the greatest brilliancy and 

 purity of color, of all shades, from white to crimson and 

 purple, produced in profusion from June until frost.
