NEW EVER-BLOOMING ALLEGHENY 
HOLLYHOCKS. (See cut.) Bloom the 
first vear from seed. A new type of HoUj-- 
hocks. This grand new flower is a decided 
improvement in more than one particular 
over the old-fashioned variety. Its first 
point of merit is the fine, transparent 
fringed flowers, which look as though 
they were made up of crushed silk. One 
has" to see this plant in bloom to appreci- 
ate its clear, transparent colors, which 
make a row shine with rainbow efl"ect. It 
is a perpetual bloomer, and has from 2 to 
4 buds at base of each leaf, where the old 
stvle has only one. All of these buds de- 
velop 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 pvra-midal spikes, thick- 
Iv studded with flowers, adds materially 
to the decorative value, and unless one 
has seen this new plant in front of a 
porch one wi'ould never suspect its orna- 
mental possibilities. The colors are shell 
pink, rose and ruby red, a shade or two 
deeper at the center, and exquisitely tint- 
ed toward the edge. Extra .selected seed.
