MICHELL’S HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS

growing plants, well suited for the back of flower borders, where 
they flower beautifully throughout the Summer.

border. Daisy-shaped flowers of deep orange color, on good 
stems for cutting. 2 to 3 feet.

THE NEW HYBRID 
HEMEROCALLIS

freely in early July; quite vigorous in growth and a most 
effective garden variety; 3 feet.

flowers, produced on erect stems. Comes into flower the

liant combination of apricot and cadmium-yellow; they are 
borne on 4-foot stems the latter part of June and early July. 
One of the best.

stems in August. Very free flowering and lasting a long time. 
Sunkist. A gorgeous flower of a beautiful shade of orange, on 
stems 3 feet in height. A two year old plant will often pro¬ 
duce from 6 to 10 stalks, each bearing from 10 to 15 flowers. 
Price, any of the above, 75c. each. 
HOLLYHOCKS (Double) 
These thrive best in soil that is not too wet, which should be 
enriched with well-rotted stable or sheep manure. While perfectly 
hardy, we recommend protecting them slightly during the Winter 
with leaves, long manure or straw. To guard against fungus or 
rust we recommend spraying the plants in early Spring with 
Pyrox or Bordeaux Mixture. 
Our strain of these is very fine, and we offer the following 
colors in double flowering only (each separate): 
Yellow, Crimson, Pink, White. 
Allegheny. Large flowers having loosely arranged fringed petals, 
varying in color from pale pink to deep red. We can supply 
these in mixed colors only. 
Single. The artistic single Hollyhock is becoming more popular 
each season. They are of stronger growth than the double 
flowering type and consequently make a better showing. We 
can supply these in mixed colors only. 
Price of Hollyhocks, 25c. each; $2.50 per doz.; per 100, $15.00. 
HYPERICUM (St. John’s Wort) 
Moserianum. A most desirable border plant, of free and grace¬ 
ful habit, producing long, slender, much-branched stems, leafy 
to the base and all drooping towards the ends, apparently 
from the weight of the flowers and buds, although the flowers 
face, so none of their beauty is lost. Free-flowering, of large 
size, measuring from 2 to 234 inches in diameter; color rich 
golden yellow. 2 feet. 
Patulum Henryi. One of the newer varieties of St. John’s 
Wort, of shrubby habit, growing from 2 to 3 feet high, pro¬ 
ducing masses of large clear yellow flowers during July and 
August and retaining its neat foliage until late in the Autumn. 
— Grandiflorum. A very vigorous growing introduction from 
China with large broad petalled flowers of a bright yellow. 
30c. each; $3.00 per doz.; per 100, $20.00. 
Hardy Primroses make one of the bright spots in the early Spring garden. See page 122A
