CHATER’S DOUBLE HOLLYHOCK. 
HOLLYHOCK. This ever popular hardy favorite of 
our gardens has few rivals in majestic grandeur. The 
flowers have been improved in size, the fullness of the 
double sorts increased, and new shades obtained by 
hybridization and selection. The seeds we offer are 
saved from plants representing the highest advance- 
ment in each class. Hollyhocks succeed best in rich 
well drained soil. They should be lightly protected 
during winter with Pine boughs, coarse straw or other 
mulch not liable to rot. Seeds sown in July produce 
fine plants for blooming the following summer, Hardy 
biennials ; six to eight feet. 
See List on next page.
