FERRY'S SEEDS 



Hollyhock, Double Newport Pink 



HELIOTROPE [tP-2 ft.] This fragrant plant has an m- 

 dividual charm all its own. Its somber green foliage and

 vivid leaves and flowers of most other plants. It is a rapid 

 grower and from seed started early in the spring will make 

 fine flowering plants by early summer, and in a warm 

 chmate will continue to bloom and hve all winter.
