^ew Japanese Everblooming Hollyhocks. 



Flower the first season from spring-sown seed. ' Bloom profusely from July until frost Again has the flower fairy 

 tapped at the door of the Flowery Kingdom, the realm of the dragon— the land of the Cherry blossom, and of 

 Madam Chrysanthemum, and, behold, this wonderful everblooming Hollyhock is given us. The art and the skill of 

 these people who mould and lead nature at will, as these people seem to 'do, is marvelous. They work, and they 

 play, and they worship among their flowers from the blossoming of the Cherry to the Chrysanthemum. In these 

 sup'erb flower's there are the tints of dawn and of the setting sun — blazing crimsons, scarlets and maroons, golden 

 yellow and lemon tints. Start seed early and up to May, When planting out, give deep and rich soil, and water 

 well when dry. Pick off seed pods as fast as formed.

 Mammoth Allegheny Hollyhocks, 



Blooms the first year from seed. This grand new flower 

 is a decided improvement. Its first point of merit is the 

 fine transparent, fringed, chrysanthemum-shaped flowers, 

 which look as though they w'ere made of crushed silk. It 

 is a perpetual bloomer. 'The colors are shell pink, rose 

 and ruby-red, a shade or two deeper at the center, and 

 exquisitely tinted toward the edge. One has to see this 

 plant in bl'oom to appreciate its clear, transparent colors, 

 which make a row shine with rainbow effect. We advise 

 everybody who has a garden to sow a packet of seed 

 of this beautiful plant. Extra Selected Seed, per packet,
