Hollyhocks 



EVERYBODY should have Holly- 

 hocks. 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) 

 ■ — crimson, maroon, rose, salmon, yel- 

 low, snow-white, etc. Though not 

 generally known, there has been a great 

 improvement made in this stately 

 flower during the past 25 years, as 

 there has in the Canna, Dahlia, Chrys- 

 anthemum, or Carnation. 



Lovett*s Superb 

 Hollyhocks 



will doubtless prove a revelation to 

 thousands. The flowers are not onl}- 

 very large, wonderfully perfect in 

 makeup and pure in color, but they 

 are produced in far greater numbers 

 and for a much longer season than the 

 Hollyhocks of ' 'Grandmother's Garden" 

 — interesting and atttractive as they 

 were. In my catalog of Hardy Peren- 

 nial Plants the above are illustrated and 

 described, with prices of plants, together 

 with more than one thousand varieties 

 of other beautiful, hardy flowers. 



Nothing for the cost gives such an 

 air of refinement and adds so much 

 cheer to the country home grounds, 

 rendering them attractive and interest- 

 ing from early spring until late autumn, 

 as Hardy Perennials ; yielding, as they 

 do, a wealth of flowers of an almost 

 endless variety of form and color — not 

 only during the year planted, but for 

 many years — from a single planting. 



My catalog of Hardy Perennial Plants is aprofusely illustrated and beauti- 

 fnlly printed bonk of seventy pages; its descriptions are accurate, and it is 



replete with information of valut 

 free for the askinjf. 



to all who are interested in flowers. Mailed
