Perennial Flowering 
Plants 
Owing to the uncertainty of the 
spring crop at the time of printing 
this catalag, we have not listed 
perennial plants and prices. A spe¬ 
cial list will be issued in spring. 
Please write or call for price list, 
if you are interested. 
Hollyhocks 
The most marked improvement is found 
in the Chater’s strains. These are beau¬ 
tiful beyond description. The Chater’s 
produce for the most part, flowers 
which are densely double, although 
occasionally some single blossoms are 
seen among them. The colors are in¬ 
numerable, ranging from pure white 
to darkest maroon, some are bright 
and gay, others of the softest and most 
delicate shades and tints. The stalks 
grow 5 to 7 feet in height. These 
stalks are densely covered with blos¬ 
soms as beautiful in texture and ap¬ 
pearance as the rose.

Single Hollyhocks

hocks. They are usually of freer 
growth than the doubles and present 
a very handsome appearance. Mixed,

grow 8 to 10 feet the first year from 
seed. When established, it will grow 
40 to 60 feet a season. Tops from 
young vines may not live through the 
winter, here in the Northwest, but as 
roots get older, tops are more likely to 
survive. The large leaves of bright 
green form a dense shade. Has Wis¬ 
taria-like purple blossoms in August.

lilies. Flowers are delightfully per¬ 
fumed, of white, slightly suffused with 
pink. Blooms in July. Bulblets from 
spring planted seeds should be lifted 
and planted deeper in the fall. These 
bulblets will flower the following sum¬ 
mer. We offer very choice, clean seed.
