HOLLYHOCK 



Stately, old-fashioned perennials, but most beautiful when seen in 

 groups or long rows, with a background of evergreen or shrubbery. 

 Seed should be sown in .-^pril or May to bloom the next year, giving 

 a foot or more space each way for development. An occasional 

 spraying with Bordeaux mixture will help to keep down the Holly- 

 hock rust, which is sometimes troublesome. 



NEW MAMMOTH-FLOWERING ALLEGHENY HOLLY- 

 HOCK. The flowers of this new variety are so different from the 

 old conventional ones that but for the similar habit of the plant it 

 would not be taken for a Hollyhock. They are from 4 to 6 inches 

 in diameter, ranging 

 from semi-double to 

 double, and finely 

 frmged and curled. 

 The colors are shell- 

 pink, rose and ruby- 

 red, a shade or two 

 deeper at the center, 

 and exquisitely tinted 

 toward the edge. Pkt.
