Double Hollyhocks. 



received the highest award at the World's Columbian 

 Exposition, Chicago, 1893. 



Grand summer and autumn flowering plants, bearing 

 long spikes of double flowers, 3 to 4 inches across. They 

 are old inhabitants of our gardens, but are now so im- 

 proved in doubleness and enlarged in size, under our 

 special culture and hybridization, as to be revelations of 

 gorgeous beauty to those who have not seen these im- 

 proved sorts. Hardy biennial, 5 to 8 feet high. The seed 

 we offer has been saved from our unrivaled collection of 

 choicest improved double varieties- (See cut.) 



The Hollyhocks from you last season were much supe- 

 rior to any ever seen here by any one. I have never seen such 

 magnificent Hollyhocks either North or South."
