HOLLYHOCKS. 



When I was at Aldenham House Gar- 

 dens last year I was particularly at- 

 tracted by the singularly fine double 

 hollyhocks Mr. Beckett had growing 

 amidst the shrubs in the large beds and 

 borders in the pleasure grounds. These 

 were all from a sowing made early in 

 the year in warmth, the plants being 

 grown on quickly, singly in pots, and 

 planted out after being well hardened in 

 the spring. I have not seen finer spikes 

 produced by plants raised from seed the 

 same year. Another striking feature of 

 the strain was the very double quality 

 of the flowers, many of them being equal 

 to the best named varieties. 



I could not refrain from thinking how 

 easily it should be with the quick mode 

 of production there practised, and the 

 fine quality of the flowers, to resuscitate 

 in popular favor these noble flowers. 

 Here from seed came first class double 

 forms, good enough to please anyone, 

 and so easily raised. By following the 

 method of culture and sowing seed saved 

 from a first class strain, anyone may 

 have glorious double hollyhocks in their 

 gardens. Possibly some credit for the 

 fine spikes seen is due to the deep work- 

 ing and retentive nature of the soil at 

 Aldenham House, but deep worked soil 

 may be had anywhere, and where not 

 so naturally retentive, then liberal water- 

 ings and mulchings with manure can 

 greatly aid the plants. 



If there be any particular drawbacks 

 to (.'ouble hollyhocks, it is chiefly found 

 in the comparative limitation in color. 

 The variations are relatively few, as com- 

 pared with the many, and some of the 

 most beautiful any flowers give, seen 

 in 1Aie single varieties. The charm of 

 the singles lies in this exceeding varia- 

 tion, combined with the lightness and 

 grace seen in the flowers. The chief 

 drawback of the single hollyhocks is that 

 the flowers, because of their being so 

 readily fertilized by insects, soon fall. 

 Hence one seldom sees a fine spike of 

 bloom. I have often thought more 

 beauty would be obtained from them if 

 the point of the main spike were pinched 

 out to cause plenty of side shoots to 

 form, as these would then give more free 

 blooming. — A. D., in Gardener's Maga-

The 27th annual convention of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen

 one and one-third fares for the round

 exhibit and exchanges by those in at- 

 tendance.
