 quently measuring 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Easy

Dreer's Superb Hollyhocks 



Stately, majestic, hardy plants from 6 to 8 feet high. They are a necessary 

 part of every old-fashioned garden and should also find a place interspersed 

 with shrubbery, as clumps on the lawn, or in the mixed border where their 

 colossal spikes of bloom produce bold and showy effects which cannot be 

 secured with any other flowering plant. 



Hollyhocks require a 

 deeply dug, well-drained 

 soil, enriched with thor- 

 oughly decayed manure. 

 They should be liberally 

 supplied with water dur- 

 ing dry weather. Slight 

 protection through- 

 out the winter will be 

 beneficial. An occasional 

 spraying with Bordeaux 

 mixture, which should 

 be applied early in the 

 growing season, usually 

 prevents rust which is 

 prevalent in some lo- 

 calities. 



Allegheny. Mammoth 

 flowers, wonderfully 

 formed of loosely ar- 

 ranged, fringed petals. 

 The colors vary from 

 the palest shrimp- 

 pink to deep red. 

 Mixed colors only. 



Single. Many prefer 

 the single-flowering 

 Hollyhocks. They are 

 usually of freer growth 

 than the doubles and 

 present a very hand- 

 some appearance 

 when covered with 

 their artistic blos- 

 soms. We can supply 

 the singles in mixed 

 colors only. 



Double 

 Hollyhocks 



Stately plants, 5 to 6 

 feet high, with elegant 

 large double blooms of 

 exquisite texture. 



Double Hollyhock 



Double Red Double Rose Double Maroon 



Double White Double Yellow Double Mixed 



Any of the Hollyhocks: 

 25c each; $2.50 per doz.; $20.00 per 100 



Hypericum— St. John's Wort 



Most desirable border plants of free and graceful habit producing long, 

 slender, much branched stems, leafy to the base and all drooping towards the 

 ends, apparently from the weight of the flowers and buds, although the 

 flowers face so none of their beauty is lost. 



Moserianum. A marvelously free-flowering variety of large size measuring 

 from 2 to 2 J- inches in diameter. A rich golden yellow rendered still more 

 effective by the numerous yellow stamens and crimson anthers. Blooms 

 continuously the entire season ; 2 feet. 



Patulum grandiflorum. A very vigorous growing introduction from 

 China with large, broad petaled flowers of a very bright yellow. 2 feet. 

 August and September. 



— Henryi. A comparatively new hardy St. John's Wort of shrubby habit, 

 growing from 2 to 3 feet high. Masses of large, clear yellow flowers during 

 July and August. Retains its neat foliage until late in the autumn. 

 Any cf the three: 30c each; $3.00 per doz.; $22.50 per 100.
