MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARR, NEW YORK. 



NEW ALLEGHENY HOLLYHOCKS. 



Mammoth Fringed Flowers, Biooms 

 the First Year from Seed. These new 

 Hollyhocks are the largest and most beautiful 

 of any. Flowers 4 to 6 inches across, fringed 

 and curled with a peculiar texture which looks 

 like crushed silk. Shell pink, rose and ruby- 

 red ; flames of colors delicately shaded toward 

 the edge. Every flower opens on the spike. 

 A magnificent and artistic plant. 



All colors mixed, pkt, 50 seeds, 8c. 



HOLLYHOCKS. 



World's Fair Mixture. 



This grand old plant was always dear to us 

 all. But of late years it is a wonder. Enor- 

 mous flowers with such deep colors, such deli- 

 cate shades of pink, blush and yellow, 

 with all the darker ones to almost black. 

 Packet of 20 colors (50 seeds), 5c. 



Double Black— Packet (50 seeds), 8c. 



FAIRY ROSE SEED. 



(Rosa Multiflora nana Perpetua.) 



This is the true New Hardy Hybrid Perpetual, Ever-Blooming Rose, which 

 will surely blossom in 60 days. I have a photograph of a plant in flower 28 

 days from sowing the seed. This variety is entirely new and very expen- 

 sive, and must not be confounded with seed sold as " Polyantha" or 

 " M ultiflora " which simply means "many flowered " and will not bloom 

 under four to six months, and altogether inferior in even,- way. These 

 roses are a wonderful freak of nature. These sturdy little Midgets 

 start to flower in babyhood two months from seed. They flower on 

 little shoots 3 inches high. With age the flowers increase "in size and 

 number, until large trusses of bloom cover the plant from spring until frost, 

 when the flower trusses are closely followed by clusters of bright red hips 

 or seed pods. They are hardy and live from year to year, in- 

 creasing in beauty and perfection each year. The flowers come 

 double, semi-double, in many colors, white, pink and crimson. 



Pkt., 3 capsules, 20 feeds, with " Jadoo " for sowing, ISc.
