HARDY PERENNIALS — Continued 
Hollyhocks, Iinperator Hybrids 
FILIPENDULA hexapetala fl. pi. Lovely plants of deli' 
cate fernlike foliage producing a dense head of dou¬ 
ble, pure white flowers in June, borne on 12-inch 
stems. 3 for 65c; $2.00 per dot;. 
HELENIUM Hoopesi. The orange-yellow flowers 
with orange-yellow disc borne on long stems make 
this plant specially desirable for the garden or for 
cutting. 2 to 3 feet. May to September. 3 for 65c; 
$2.00 per doz. 
•' !: HELIANTHEMUM mutabile (Sunrose). A most 
dainty and lovely dwarf evergreen, shrubby peren¬ 
nial specially effective on dry banks or in rock gar¬ 
dens. The plants spread rather rapidly and keep up 
a succession of dainty rose-like flowers throughout 
the season. 3 for 65c; $2.00 per doz. 
^HOLLYHOCKS, Imperator Hybrids. The Imperator 
Hybrids are the newest and loveliest things in Holly¬ 
hocks, which means that they are about the loveliest 
flowers in the world. The flowers measure 6 inches 
in diameter and the colors include every Hollyhock 
shade and tint. The petals are beautifully frilled and 
fringed and in the center is a rosette about 2 inches 
across. The individual flowers suggest a lovely 
crested Begonia. The new Imperator Hybrids have 
another advantage over the older types in that they 
are also gorgeous cut flowers. The older Hollyhocks cannot so be used 
since the flowers wilt rapidly when cut. The new Imperator Hybrids, 
however, last a long while in water. As everyone knows, the older 
Hollyhocks produced a single spike of bloom, whereas these new 
Imperator Hybrids are branching. The Imperator Hybrids are too 
new and scarce to be available in separate colors and can be fur¬ 
nished only in mixture. 3 for 90c; $3.00 per doz. 
Single Hollyhocks Mixed or in Separate Colors. 3 for 75c; $2.25 per doz. 
H., Allegheny Hybrids Mixed. Immense semi-double flowers with 
fringed edges. 3 for 75c; $2.25 per doz.

grown perennial plants. Particularly effective as a border for a walk 
or path. Will bloom all summer.

flowers. Extremely desirable for cutting. 3 for 75c; $2.50 per doz.
