HOLLYHOCK 
Grand summer-flowering plants, 
bearing long spikes of double flowers, 
3 to 4 inches across. A clump or line 
of them in any garden gives an effect 
not attainable with any other plant. 
For planting among shrubbery or 
forming a background for other flow¬ 
ers we know of nothing better. The 
seeds offered have been saved from a 
superb strain of the finest double flow¬ 
ers. Seeds sown during the summer 
will produce plants that will bloom 
the following season. 
Mammoth. Fringed “Alle¬ 
gheny." An entirely new departure in this grand old garden favorite. The flowers are 
of mammoth size, 5 to 7 inches in diameter and gracefully formed of loosely arranged 
fringed petals which look as though made of crushed satin, and when cut are hardly re¬ 
cognizable as a Hollyhock, having none of the formality of the ordinary type. The colors 
range from the most delicate shell-pink to dark red. Mixed colors. Pkt. 10 cts.
