Hollyhock, Annual, Indian Spring 
@ Silver Medal, 1939 All-America Selections. At 
last we are able to offer a dependable Annual 
Hollyhock which will bloom in 5 months from 
seed, and if started under glass early and the canes 
cut down after blooming, secondary canes will give 
another splendid crop of bloom during the fall. The 
beautiful flowers are semi-double and fringed, in 
shades of pink, the center being darker than the 
edges, which are quite light, giving it a dainty ap¬ 
pearance. Instead of being 6 to 7 feet tall, as the old 
Hollyhocks, Indian Spring is only about 4 feet, so 
the plants will fit in different sections of the border 
instead of having to be relegated to the back. Pkt.

ANNUAL 
This Hardy Indian Balsam grows to a height of 
5 to 7 feet, making pyramidal plants branching all 
the way up and each branch ending in a cluster of 
lovely salmon-pink flowers. These beautiful blooms 
are about 2 inches high and 134 inches across. The 
distended spurred back petal is slightly darker than 
the rest of the flower, giving it a slight two-toned 
effect. A valuable plant for filling in spaces between 
shrubs or for quickly covering unsightly places. 
See illustration on page 10. Pkt. 50 cts.

6 inches in height and bears a wealth of well-

Draba Haynaldi

over winter. Pkt. 50 cts.

A spectacular new Morning-Glory. It is a strong 
climber, about like Heavenly Blue, with 3^-inch 
crimson-red flowers, edged with a 34-inch strip of
