JONN LEWIS CHILDS, FLORAL PARK, QUEENS CO., N. Y. 
Delplppitnp 
One of our special favorites. This, with the double 
Hollyhock and the Delphinium, form a stately trio of tall- 
5 rowing plants than which nothing liner can lie chosen for 
aekgrounds, center of wide borders, interspersing with 
shrubbery, eto. If plants are not allowed to seed, they are 
crowned for months by long pyramidal spikes of lovelv 
pendant thimble-shaped hells snow white, rosy blush, or 
exquisitely shaded or spotted. The blooms are nearly or 
quite two inches in length, and lap each other with' the 
utmost regularity. For the center of large bouquets tliev 
are almost equal to spikes of Gladiolus. 
Mixed Colors. Fine strain. 
Cloxinoldes Crandlflora. A strain with large, beauti¬ 
ful, Gloxinia-like blossoms. Extra. 10

Hollyhock. 
One of (lie flnest 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. 
The yellow, magenta, rose and black are intensely pure and 
deep, while the pure while, pale lemon, soft pink and laven¬ 
der shades are e xquisitely soft and delicate. The pearly 
blooms of the pure white Hollyhocks are as fine for all floral 
work as the most double Kose or Camellia. If seeds are 
started very early, plants often bloom t lie next Sc pi ember.
