Allegheny Hollyhock. 



MHMMOTH DOUBLE FRINGED. 



The Allegheny hollyhock is different from the 

 older forms and greatly superior to them. The 

 height is about the same, but the abundant 

 flowers which are 3 to 5 inches in diameter, and 

 either double or half double, are so finely fringed, 

 cut and curled as to suggest the bloom of some 

 new species of plant. The colors are pink, rose 

 and ruby red, darkest at the centre. The flowers 

 drop as soon as they fade, and do not remain 

 on the stem after they are dead and brown, as in 

 other hollyhocks. The blooming season is a 

 long one, and the plants are as conspicuous as 

 they are beautiful. The Allegheny hollyhock is 

 perfectly hardy, and will thrive anywhere under 

 good treatment, and will prove invaluable for 

 backgrounds or clumps in lawn or landscape 

 work. It will come up year after year, bloom- 

 ing in perfection the second year and afterward. 

 Packet. 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents.
