DOUBLE HOLLYHOCKS. 



Hollyhocks are among the finest permanent garden 

 plants, as being entirely hardy in most places and free 

 growing, they make a great display "with little or no care. 

 Our collection contains all the colors named, but as they 

 are grow* from seed an occasional departure from these 

 shades maybe expected. For the same reason a small per- 

 centage may be single or semi-double. "We offer them in the 

 following shades, whichare the leading colors grown: Dou- 

 ble -wrhite, double yello-w, double laverder, double pink, 

 double crimsou, double purple and double maroon. 

 Price for the above varieties, 20c. each, $2.00 per dozen. 



Ipomoea Pandurata. This splendid hardy climbing plant will grow rapidly, covering up a 

 great amount of space in one season, and will live in the ground over winter in our 

 Northern latitude. The foliage is large and handsome, giving a dense shade. The 

 flowers are truly magnificent, measuring from 3J^ to 6 inches acrof^s, pure white shading 

 to pink and purple in the throat. Unlike the tender Moon Flo-wer, which we had the 

 pleasure of first bringing prominently before the public, this species opens its flowers 

 during the day-time and remains open all day, ■whicli makes it doubly valuable. Strong 

 Northern grown roots. (See cut.) Price, 30c. each, $3.00 per dozen.
