LIST OF HARDY HERBACEOUS PLANTS FOR 1914. 105 
HOLLY HOCKS. 
These deservedly popular plants are almost un- 
rivaled for the adornment of the lawn, being in 
themselves marvels of beauty and elegance, and 
when well arranged in clumps interspersed among 
shrubbery they produce an effect which is striking 
and pleasing beyond description. They succeed 
usually in almost any good garden soil, but if this 
is in any way poor, it should be previously well 
trenched and manured or strong spikes of bloom 
will not result. A top-dressing of well-decayed 
manure, or a prepared fertilizer, is beneficial when 
the flower-spikes are pushing up. In a sunny posi- 
tion in good soil and with good treatment Holly- 
hocks frequently reach a height of 8 or 10 feet, 
and flower from about 3 feet above ground nearly 
to the top of the stems. After flowering is over the 
spikes should be cut down to about 6 inches above 
the base. The plants we offer are raised from 
Currie’s Superb Strain of Seed, and are really ex- 
cellent.
