Acrocliniam New Iiargre-Flowered Double 
Hybrids 
ACROCLINIUM 
“Everlasting Flower” 
New Annual Large-flowered 
Double Hybrids 
It is a gala occasion when the florist dis¬ 
covers a flower variety, entirely new and 
different, which sells on sight. Such a vari¬ 
ety is this new Acroclinium, so greatly im¬ 
proved over the old variety that they can 
scarcely be recognized as members of the 
same family. 
They are free summer-flowering plants 
for garden decoration; the flowers dry as 
“Everlastings” for winter bouquets. They 
are also grown as pot plants for market. 
In full bloom the plants are striking and 
effective. Very showy in garden. Easy to 
grow. 
The double flowers are extremely large, 
at least twice the size of the ordinary 
strain, on 12 to 18-lnch stems, which are 
borne freely over a long flowering period. 
The range of color is most remarkable, be¬ 
ing especially rich in shades of salmon, 
apricot, pink, rose and cerise, with white 
and creamy tones to balance up the pastel 
mixture. While some of the flowers have 
a light eye, the majority are enhanced by 
a boldly contrasting dark center. Largely 
double sonte come semi-double. Fkt. 15c; 
% oz. 30c; Yz oz. 55c. 
“Towers of Beauty** HOLLYHOCKS 
Our Double Hollyhocks are far superior to 
the old single and semi-double sorts. The 
Hollyhock is an “old-fashioned” flower and 
perhaps no other flower leaves such an im¬ 
pression as does the Hollyhock. 
The beautiful long spikes filled with tissue 
paper-like blooms, set closely together, give a 
beautiful and artistic background or tall bor¬ 
der. There can hardly be an old-fashioned 
garden without them, and hardly a garden 
anywhere that would not be improved by the 
use of some of the following newer, and justly 
finer, varieties. 
“Colorado Sunset” is a Hollyhock that is a 
Hollyhock! The color varies, like sunsets 
vary, only maybe not to such an extreme. 
You will find shades from cream to copper, 
but always charming. The illustration shows 
the type of double blossoms, solid spikes just 
jam full of beautiful blooms. 
“Dilac Beauty” is another delicate creation, 
reminiscent of old lace and lavender. A most 
unusual color that merits your complete ap¬ 
proval. 
As Hollyhocks bloom from seed the second 
year, the seed that you plant this year will 
provide a supply of blooming sized roots for 
next summer. Plant seed from April to June. 
The roots usually live over after blooming 
one season, but not always.
