HARDY PERENNIALS. 
ALLEGHENY HOLLYHOCKS. 
Few hardy plants combine so many good qualities as the Hollyhock. 
For planting in i'ows or gronps on the lawn, or for interspersing 
among shrubbery, they are invaluable. The flowers are woiulerfiilly 
formed of loosely fringed petals, which look as if made from China 
silk, and vary in color from the palest shrimp-pink to a deep red, 
orange, white, etc. The Hollyhock reqiiires a rich, deep soil, well 
<lrained, and will repay in quantity and elegance of bloom any extra 
care. A slight protection during winter will be beneficial. 
We offer very strong l-yeai'-old plants, which will flower this 
season, at 20 cts. each, $1.75 per doz., $12 per 100. 
GERMAN IRIS. 
We especially wish to call attention to the 
value of this Iris for groups for planting in 
masses on the lawn or among shrubberj% or 
for naturalizing in wild or uncultivated places. 
It is hardy everywhere, audit succeeds in any 
soil without cultivation or care of any kind; 
it is a vigorous grower, and when planted 
in masses produces a display of large, showy 
flowers not equaled by anything else in its 
season. The most effective way to plant a 
mass is to use one color only, aud it should be 
distinct and showy. For this purpose the 
blue and the yellow varieties are best, the 
colors being strong and clear.
