flowers, freely produced during the summer. 
Culture. A rich, moist, well drained soil suits them best. Best planted as 
single specimens in full sun in the border or in groups of three or more 
on the lawn. Plant in fall or spring, 24 inches apart.

HEUCHERA - Alum Root; Coralbells 
Neat-growing and graceful flowering perennials yielding an abundance 
of flowers suitable for cutting; effective subjects for the margins of 
borders, as edgings to walks, flower beds, and excellent for the rock 
garden. They have heart-shaped leaves and bear their dainty blooms 
in graceful panicles or racemes. 
Culture. Heucheras require a well-drained, fairly rich, and not too heavy 
soil, also a sunny position. Plant 6 inches apart in autumn _ or early 
spring. Each spring top dress with well-decayed manure. Lift, divide and 
replant every third year for best results.

*Rosamundi Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
We have carefully tested several varieties of Heuchera in all the pink 
shades during the past few years, and we find that this is the most 
desirable of the coral-pink sorts. It is a strong grower, not subject to 
any blight, and produces an abundance of fine coral-pink blossoms on 
tall, strong stems, which last over two months.

very free flowering. Nice for cutting. Excellent for rock garden. 
HOLLYHOCKS - Althea Rosea 
Handsome garden flowers full of sentiment and association with the past. 
Extensively grown not only in this country, but throughout the world; 
were originally derived from Althea rosea, a Chinese species. When well 
grown, there are no finer hardy plants in the garden than a good group 
of them in full flower. At one time preference was given to the double- 
flowered kinds, but people are beginning to realize that the single flow- 
ered sorts have a distinct beauty and charm of their own. 
Culture. Hollyhocks require a rich, generous, well drained soil. If in the 
least degree heavy, add plenty of sand and manure to lighten it, and 
should it be inclined to be too light, dig in plenty of cow manure with a 
little heavy loam. The plants must have full sun, and they show to the 
best advantage when grouped together in bold masses. As the plants 
grow 6 to 8 feet high, they must, of course, be grown at the back of the 
border, and they should be fully eight inches apart. Plant in fall or 
spring. 
Double Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00 
Separate colors as follows: Bright Rose, Maroon, Newport Pink, Red, 
White, Yellow and Mixed. 
Double Triumph Mixed Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00 
A lovely new type from England, beautifully fringed flowers of many 
new shades not heretofore seen in Hollyhocks. The unusually lovely 
fringed flowers certainly make this a worth-while addition to the garden. 
Single Mixed Colors Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00 
This mixture contains a beautiful blending of colors. The types selected 
are hardy and persistent, and will self-sow and reproduce freely, spread- 
ing into charming and artistic bold masses. Here is a simple way for 
you to make a small piece of highway near your home attractive and 
gay.
