The double Hollihocks have great long white roots, from whence 
{pring up many round cornered leaves, like thofe of common Mal- 
Jows, trom among which the ftalks fpring up five or fix foot high; fet 
with green leaves, more cut in and divided, and from the middle to the 
top, adorned with fmaller green leaves and fair large flowers, fome 
very thick and double like the Province Rofe, fome that havethe out- 
‘ter leaves broad, and a thick double flower compofed of fhorter 
Jeaves inthe middle ; and thereare fome that the double flower hath 
many heads , as if many {mall double flowers were thruft together — 
intoone. Thecolours of thefe flowers in feveral Plants, are either 
white, Silver-colour, Cream-colour, bluth, Rofe-colour, Carnation, 
Scarlet, Orenge-colour, Brimfton-colour, bright red , dark blackifh 
red, or purple ; of all which feveral colours 1 have Plants now grow- 
ing inmy own Garden, After the flowers are palt, the feeds are con- 
tained in round flat heads’, for the double kinds feed as well asthe 
fingle, which are flat, and of a whitifh brown colour, 
They commonly flower late in Auguft and September, forhat the 
firft flowers muft be preferved for feeds ; for alt 
of fome continuance > yet they are chiefly increafed and raifed from 
feeds, whichare to be fowed in the beginning of April, where the 
fecond year they will bear flowers , out of which thebeft may be 
chofen, and thofe removed into the Garden in October after they
