 THE LOVETT CO. 







Few hardy plants combine as many good qualities or lend themselves to so many various uses as the Holly- 

 hocks. For planting in rows, or grouping on the lawn, or among shrubbery, they are invaluable. The ^lowers 

 form perfect rosettes of the most lovely and varied colors. Hollyhocks have of late been so wonderfully im- 

 proved that they have become marvels of beauty and elegance. They should have a deep, rich soil, and will well re- 

 pay in abundance and beauty of bloom any extra care. A slight protection in \\-inter is beneficial. 



Lovett*s Superb Strain, crimson, pink, white, white with violet centre, yellow, salmon, and blush. The 

 above strain is undoubtedly the best in the world, and is particularly noted for the brilliancy and clearness of color 

 and perfection of form. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.50.

GAILLARDIA GRANDIFLORA. 



Blanket Flower. 



One of the 

 most bril-

 eil'ectiveness 

 of its large 

 flowers, which 

 are of the 

 deepest rich
