HOLLYHOCK. 
The Hellyhock in its present state of perfection is very 
unlike its parent of olden time; it now ranks with 
the Dahlia, Aster, Camellia, etc. For background to 
a flower garden, perhaps no plant is so useful. The 
flowers are as double as a rose, of many shades of 
color, from deep yellow, red, purple, to pure white. 
Plant the seed in June or July, in open ground, and 
in the autumn, when the plants have made five leaves, 
transplant to permanent position, three feet apart. 
The following summer they will bloom. Each plant 
should be supported by astake. Hardy perennial, 
5 feet high.

HELICHRYSUM. 
(EVERLASTINGS.) 
Known as Everlasting Flowers or Immortelles, and as 
cut dried blooms are almost universally used for 
church or house decoration at Christmas and other 
festivals and important occasions, also generally 
for winter bouquets. It is necessary, when cutting 
the flowers for drying for winter use, to pluck them 
before the flower-bud is expanded, otherwise they 
may have a tendency to seed, and present a some- 
what ragged appearance. The Helichrysums will 
stand drought well, but if bushy plants are required, 
it is desirable to give them a generous soil and abun- 
dance of air. They may also be successfully and 
easily cultivated as pot plants.
