Hollyhocks, Double Alleghany. 



Mammoth flowers, wonderfully formed of loosely ar- 

 ranged fringed petals, which look as if made from the 

 finest China silk, and have none of the formality of the 

 ov-iinary tyne. The colors vary from the palest shrimp 

 pink to deep red. Pkt., 50 seeds, 5 cts. 



Hollyhocks, Single. 



Many prefer the single-flowering Hollyhocks. They 

 are usually of freer growth than the doubles, and pre- 

 rnt a very handsome annearance when covered with 

 their artistic blossoms. Pkt., 50 seeds, 5 cts. 



Annual Hollyhocks. 



This new strain possesses all the virtues of the double 

 old-fashioned Hollyhocks, with the additional advan- 

 tage of blooming from seed the first year. Plants 

 started from seed sown in March or April in the house 

 or hot bed, transplanted in May into their permanent 

 place, will bloom in August and continue until fall. 

 The plants branch out freely and are not easily at- 

 tacked by the Hollyhock fungus, therefore retain their 

 fresh, bright green leaves until late. The flowers are 

 •louble, semi-double, or single. Pkt., 50 seeds, 5 cts. 



Impatiens Sultani. 



This most distinct and beau- 

 tiful plant is almost a perpet- 

 ual bloomer. The flowers are 

 of a brilliant rosy scarlet color 

 and are produced so freely 

 that a full grown specimen 

 appears to be a ball of flowers 

 and continues in full beauty 

 several months. 



Pkt., 100 seeds. 5 cts. 



Job's Tears, 

 Coix Lachryma. 



Curious, ornamental grass, 

 with broad, corn-like leaves 

 and seeds of a light slate color. 

 Valuable for the formation of 

 winter bouquets. Strings of 

 handsome beads are made 

 from the seeds. Hardy annual, 

 3 feet high.

Kochia Scoparia or Sum- 

 mer Cypress. 



The plants grow freely from 

 seed sown in the open ground, 

 when the trees are coming out 

 in leaf, and from tha earliest 

 stage of growth in the springs 

 until they reach maturity in 

 the fall the plants are always 

 of globe-like form. The plants 

 branch freely, and stems are 

 clothed with slender light 

 green leaves. Early in the 

 fall the ends of shoots are 

 thickly set with small bright- 

 scarlet flowers — the bushy 

 plants resembling balls of fire. 

 The plants are equally showy, 

 planted singly to show the 

 round ball-like form on all 

 sides, or grown in continuous 

 rows or hedges.

The Famous 

 Chinese Kudzu. 



"Jack-and-the-Beanstalk" Vine 



A vine that will grow every- 

 where. Flourishes where noth- 

 ing else will grow, and lasts 

 for many years. The large 

 bold leaves of the brightest 

 green afford a dense shade. Its 

 greatest feature is its wonder- 

 fully strong growth, which 

 makes it invaluable for cover- 

 ing arbors, fences, porches, 

 dead or old trees, etc. The 

 Kudzu Vine is a native of 

 China, where it is grown not 

 only for the beauty of the 

 plant, but also for the edible 

 value of its roots. The vine is 

 hardy, grows 50 ft., with dense 

 foliage to the ground. Pkt.„
