One of the showiest of hardy garden plants. A clump or line of 

 them in any garden gives an effect not attainable with any other 

 plant. For planting among shrubbery or forming a background for 



other flowers we know 

 of nothing better. Seeds 

 sown early in the sum- 

 mer will produce plants 

 that will bloom the fol- 

 lowing summer. The 

 Chater's Prize Doubles 

 are the finest strain in 

 existence. Allegheny 

 Hollyhocks are a Japa- 

 nese strain, with single 

 and semi-double, beau- 

 tiful, fringed flowers.
