One of the finest of all perennials, and unsurpassed as a 
stately, imposing plant for backgrounds, screens, center of 
wide borders, etc. Plants grow from four to six feet high, 
and bear pyramidal spikes of large rosette-like flowers of 
every shade and color, from pure white to almost black. 
1 be yellow, magenta, rose and black are intensely pure and 
deep, while the pure white, pale lemon, soft pink and laven¬ 
der shades are exquisitely soft and delicate. The pearly 
blooms of the pure white Hollyhock are as fine for all floral 
work as the most double Rose or Camelia. If seeds are 
started very early, plants often bloom the next September.

Not entirely new, yet little known and rarely seen, al¬ 
though it is one of those flowers of dainty beauty that is 
.appreciated when seen; hut can never be justly described. 
We will not attempt to convey to our readers the Impression 
of its great beauty; this they can never know until tney see 
it, but will say that it is a hardy perennial, sending up 
numerous steins which send out long, wiry branches, which 
are clothed with a growth of small, almost hair-like foliage. 
At the tips of the branches are poised large, salver-shaped 
blossoms, borne with such airy grace.that they appear to he 
floating in the air. The effect is charming. No garden in 
the land should be without this exquisite flower.

A favorite English flower somewhat like Ten-weeks 
Stocks. A half-hardy perennial; very fragrant and fine for 
cutting or for pots. Where winters are not very severe the 
Wallflower will Ijve with protection and will "bloom very 
early in spring.

No praise can be too high for this lovely iron-clad vine, 
that blooms constantly from early summer until late 
autumn, minding neither heat or cold, rain or drought. 
I lants or vigor and health fill ness, bearing a profusion of 
long-stalked clustered flowers, white, pink and deep rose in 
color, each flower an inch or more across. It is strange that 
they are so rarely seen, for they are easily grown, perfectlv 
hardy, and so beautiful that we have never vet seen a person 
who did not. admire their cheerful flowers and clear green
