DREER'S SIPERB HOLLYHOCKS. 



Few hardy plants combine as many good qualities as the Hollvhock. 

 For planting in rows or groups on the lawn, or for interspersing among 

 shrubbery, they are invaluable. The flowers form perfect rosettes of 

 the most lovely shades of color. The Hollyhock requires a rich, deep 

 soil, well drained, and will repay in quantity and elegance of bloom any 

 extra care. A slight protection during the winter will be beneficial.

 although the flowers face, so that none of their Leautv is lost. It is 

 marvelously free-flowering, of large size, measuring from 2 to 2' 

 inches in diameter; in color a rich golden yellow, which is rendered 

 still more effective by the numerous yellow stamens and crimson
