NEW EVER-BLOOMINQ ALLEGHENY HOLLYHOCKS. Blooms the first 
''''fli - ™" • A new tyjx! of Hollyhocks. This grand new flower is a de- 
cided improvement in more than one particular over the old-fashionod va- 
,I's,fi'"St point of merit is the fine, transmrent, fringed flowers, 
which look a,s though they were made up of cru.shed silk. One has to see 
this plant in bloom to appreciate its clear, transparent colors, which 
make a row shine with rainbow effect. It is a perpetual bloomer, 
and has from 2 to 4 buds at Ijase of each leaf, where the old style has 
only one. All of these buds devoaop into flowers in rotation, the 
largest buds first, then the smaller ones, and so on until they have 
all opened up to beautiful flowers. The great height of the column, 
like pyramidal spikes, thickly studded with flowers, adds materially 
to the decorative value, and unless one has seen this new plant in 
front of a porch one would never suspect its ornamental possibilities. 
As cut flowers they are immense. A plate fllled with these flowers is 
a handsome thing to look at, and as flowers to wear they arc won- 
derfully lasting. The colors are shell pink, rose and ruby red, a 
shade or two deeper at the center, and exquisitely tinted toward the 
edge. Extra selected seed, in the following separate colors: 
Red, black-red, rose, shell pink, maroon. Pkt. lOc or 3 for 
older type in its in^ 
creased size of flow- 
ers, their improved 
shape and larger va- 
riety of colors, and, 
more than all else, 
in their singularly 
beautiful veinings 
of gold. These are 
the only flowers, to 
our knowledge, that 
show a ghnt of gold 
in thdr coloring.
