sunny position. Is an old-fashioned though 
beautiful plant, possessing a grace not 
found in any other perennial. Blooms dur- 
ing July and August and forms a symmet- 
rical mass two to three feet in height and 
equally broad, of minute pure white flow- 
ers forming a beautiful gauze-like appear- 
ance. 
Hibiscus: MALLOW. 
A desirable border plant succeeding in 
any sunny position but doing best in damp 
places. Grows three to five feet high with 
large foliage and large showy flowers of 
delicate coloring, produced during the en- 
tire Summer. Can furnish plants of pink 
and white flowering species. 
HOLLYHOCKS. 
Stately, majestic, hardy plants growing 
from six to eight feet high; essential to 
every complete garden. They also serve 
well when interplanted with shrubbery. 
The hollyhock requires well prepared soil

supply of water during the dry period. An 
occasional spraying with Bordeaux mixture 
applied early in the growing season is ben- 
eficial. We offer the best double-flowering 
plants in donble white, double rose, double 
red, double yellow, maroon or mixed.

ing variety producing colossal spikes of 
double pure pink flowers.

able for the garden: blooms for three or 
four weeks, beginning the middle of May. 
Flowers produced in large spikes of clear 
blue or white. Splendid for decorating.

soil, which combined with their brightness, 
has brought them into high favor with 
lovers of hardy plants. They are known by 
various names, such as Campion, Jerusa- 
lem Cross, Lamp Flower, Maltese Cross, 
Ragged Robin, etc. We furnish plants of 
the brilliant orange-scarlet flowering vari- 
ety only. Period of blooming from May to

POPPIES. 
Large Oriental. For a gorgeous display of 
rich and brilliant coloring nothing equals

ing, which, in normal seasons, is during the 
first part of June. Their large flowers and 
brilliant coloring render them conspicuous 
in any position. They are easily cultivated, 
doing well in almost any kind of soil. After 
flowering in the Spring the plants die back,

vating the beds during this resting period 
care should be taken that the roots are not 
disturbed, otherwise the plants will be 
ruined.
