HOLLYHOCK hb 
One of the most majestic of hardy plants, and a clump or 
line in a garden gives an effect not attainable with any other 
plant. For planting among shrubbery or forming a back¬ 
ground for other flowers, it is without equal. From seed sown 
in early spring, they often produce a few flowers in late sum¬ 
mer, but they are at their best the second year. 
TWO NEW HOLLYHOCKS 
Salzer’s Oliffwood Giant—A new race, bearing very large 
fringed flowers six inches across with double rosettes in the 
center, resembling a crested begonia. Mixed colors only, 
ranging from delicate pink to cerise salmon. It is the largest 
Hollyhock we have seen. 2084—Pkt., 15c; % oz., 75c. 
Orange Prince—A new color in Hollyhock—a brilliant shade 
of clear orange. This striking color is of such beauty that it 
stands in a class by itself. Large double flowers that make a 
brilliant display. 2095—Pkt., 15c; Vs oz., 90c. 
One Packet Each of Above Two, for 25c. 
DOUBLE VARIETIES. These superb varieties bear tall 
spikes closely set with showy, round, double flowers. As they 
usually re-seed themselves, a bed once established will last 
for years. 6 to 8 feet. This is the true Chater’s Double strain.

HELICHRYSUM OR STRAWFLOWERS ha 
One of the very finest of the well-known “Everlastings.” Large, full, 
double, daisy-like flower heads with prominent centers and stiff overlapping 
scales, produced in various bright shades on stems of good length. Splen¬ 
did for cutting. Highly desirable also as dried flowers and for use in making 
winter bouquets. This is undoubtedly the most popular of the “Everlasting” 
flowers. 
Those flowers which you desire for winter decorations should be cut 
with as long stems as possible when they are about one-third open. The 
foliage should then be stripped from the stems, the flowers tied in small 
bunches, and hung (flowers downward) in some dark, dry, cool place until 
cured. 
Strawflowers grow from two to two and one-half feet high and are easily 
grown, succeeding in any good garden soil. Very effective in beds and bor¬ 
ders. We offer the following choice colors:
