Hollyhock, Mammoth Fringed Allegheny. An entirely new departure which has 
much to commend it. The mammoth flowers are wonderfully formed of loosely ar- 
ranged fringed petals, which look as if made from the finest China silk, and when 
cut are hardly recognizable as a Hollyhock, having none of the formality of the 
ordinary type. The coior varies from the palest shrimp-pink to deep red. The plants 
are of majestic growth, sending up spikes six to seven feet high. Price 10 dls. 
Hollyhock. The Hollyhock in its present state of perfection, is very unlike its 
parent of olden time. It now ranks with the Dahlia, Aster, Camelia, etc. The flowers 
are as double as a rose, of many shades of color from deep yellow, red, purple, to 
white. Hardy perennial, three to five feet. Our seed is from the celebrated Chaters 
strain. No better can be found. Finest mixed. Price lo efts.

ieaves, — averaging from six to seven inches across — are beautifully and distinctly 
marked with silvery white, yellowish green and dark green, partly regularly striped, 
as well as marbled and blotched. This plant will rapidly cover porches, fences, sum- 
mer houses and rustic arches. Three-fourths piants come variegated. Price 10 dls. 
Lathyrus. (Perennial Peas). The Perennial Peas, while lacking the delicious 
fragrance of the Sweet Peas, are equally as beautiful, and are very valuable from the 
fact that they are in full bloom early in the spring, before the others have begun to 
flower. They live year after year, bearing magnificent clusters of flowers. Perfectly 
hardy and grow six to eight feet high. Not new, but not as well known as it should- be.
