 get good flowering plants in five months, while the old kinds require at 

 least a year. The flowers are large, double, very fragrant and borne 

 in great abundance and variety of color. Fully 80 per cent, of the

 and have also given every obtainable strain a most thorough trial. As an outcome of this we now offer 

 Ferry's Improved Hollyhocks as Superior to any in Existence. One can have but a faint idea of the 

 possible beauty of these grand old flowers until they have seen some of ours. They all come very double 

 and perfectly true to the exceeding rich or delicate colors we have established.
