Hollyhock. Ware's double, choicest mixed, including the best of all 
the colors. 25 cents. $2 per dozen. 
Herbaceous Paeonias. Choicest named kinds at 25 to 50 cents each. 
Tree Pseonias. For ease of culture, variety and brilliancy of color, 
and bold effect, this hardy shrub stands in the front rank. The 
old Moutan is comparatively well known. Great advances have 
been made in size, shape, and delicacy of color. The best named 
Japanese and French varieties at $1 to $2 each. 
Japan Iris. I am happy to announce that I obtained direct from 
Japan an extra choice collection of this superb plant, the named varie- 
ties of which have been a marvel at the exhibitions, where I took the 
highest prize the past season. They as far exceed the usual kinds as 
the ordinary Kaempfer exceeds the German. They are perfectly hardy 
and of easy culture, delighting in a moist soil. Not even the choicest 
orchids can surpass the wonderful beauty in structure, coloring, and 
size, of this regal flower. 37 cents. $3 per dozen, $15 per hundred. 
The following are the cream of the collection : —

large, single.
