HOLLYHOCK. 



Chater's Superb English Hollyhocks. 



Few hardy plants combine as many good qualities, or lend 

 themselves as readily to varied uses, as the Hollyhock. For 

 planting in rows or groups on the lawn, or for interspersing 

 among the shrubbery, they are invaluable. The flowers form 

 perfect rosettes of the most lovely shades of yellow, crimson, 

 rose, pink, orange, white, etc. It is not surprising that this old 

 favorite should again become popular; for, liy careful selection, 

 the flowers have been so much improved, that they are marvels 

 of beauty and elegance. The Hollyhock requires a rich, deep 

 soil, well drained, and will repay in quantity and elegance of 

 bloom any extra care. A slight protection during winter will 

 be beneficial. We make a specialty of Hollyhocks, and the 

 seed we offer is saved from the very best double flowers of pure 

 and bright colors. Seeds sown during the summer make strong 

 blooming plants for the following year.
