TULIPS AND PHLOX 8UBULATA. 
CREEPING PHLOXES 
The Creeping Phloxes are among the most charming of hardy 
plants. They cover the ground with a mat of evergreen foliage at all 
times, and during the mouth of May make the most beautiful carpet 
of white, purple or pink flowers. The bloom is so dense that the 
foliage is entirely hidden. These Phloxes bloom again in the fall, but 
V iot so freely. They are very useful for border edging, rock work or 
covering bare banks, and for covering graves. Planted in large 
masses nothing can be more effective.

HOLLYHOCKS 
Have you ever noticed that painters choose single Hollyhocks as 
^fubjects for floral painting oftener than any other flower? I suppose 
the reason for this is that artists have a keener appreciation of beauty 
than other people and recognize that the common, and 1 fear 
sometimes despised, Single Hollyhock is one of the most stately, 
picturesque and beautiful plants in the world. Nothing can be more 
effective than a large group or mass of single Hollyhocks, and once 
planted they will literally take care of themselves, even if planted in 
the grass. I know of patches that have not been cultivated or dis¬ 
turbed in any way for twenty years. Notwithstanding their great 
beauty and usefulness, Single Hollyhocks are not offered for sale by 
any nurseryman in America, and the seed is tot to be had from any 
seedsman. I am determined to have Single Hollyhocks for my land¬ 
scape gardening work, so I collected seed from old-fashioned (they 
will soon be new-fashioned) gardens and had thousands of plants 
grown for my customers. Some people think Double Hollyhocks are 
more beautiful than Single. They are mistaken; although the doubles 
are beautiful, but inclined to be top-heavy, often need staking and 
are liable to disease. Hollyhocks planted in the fall will bloom well 
the following summer.
