HEMRTADREER-PHIlADELPNIAfA rafHARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS• M m DREER'S SUPERB HOLLYHOCKS Stately, majestic, hardy plants, from 6 to 8 feet high, which are a necessary part of every old-fashioned garden, and should also find a place interspersed with shrubbery, as clumps on the lawn or in the mixed border, where their colossal spikes of bloom produce bold and showy effects, which cannot be secured with any other flowering plant. The Hollyhock requires a deeply dug, well-drained soil, enriched with thoroughly decayed manure, and should be liberally supplied with water during dry weather. A slight protection throughout the winter will be beneficial. An occasional spraying with Bordeaux mixture, which should be applied early in the growing season, usually prevents the disease, which is prevalent in some localities. We offer the best Double, Fringed and Single sorts as under: Double White Double Yellow Double Maroon Double Rose Double Red Double Mixed 20 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. Newport Pink. A charming variety, for which we were awarded a certificate of merit by the Royal Horticultural Society of London. It is of strong, vigorous habit, producing colossal spikes of very double pure pink flowers, a shade that is eagerly sought for in all classes of plants. 25 cts. each; $ per doz. Allegheny. Mammoth flowers, wonderfully formed of loosely arranged fringed petals. The colors vary from the palest shrimp-pink to deep red. Mixed colors. 20cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. Single. Many prefer the single-flowering Hollyhocks. They are usually of freer growth than the doubles, and present a very handsome appear- ance when covered with their artistic blossoms. We can supply in mixed colors only. 20 cts. each; $ per doz.; $ per 100. HOUStOllia (Bluets, Quaker Lady
