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 

 April or Maj- to bloom 

 the ne.xt year, giving a 

 foot or more space each 

 way for development. 

 An occasional spraj'ing 

 with Bordeau.x Rli.xture 

 will help to keep down 

 the Hollyhock rust, 

 which is sometimes 

 troublesome.

 GHENY HOL- 

 LYHOCK. The 

 flowers of this new 

 variety are so dif- 

 ferent 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 di- 

 ameter, ranging 

 from semi-double 

 to d o u bl e , and 

 finely fringed and 

 curled. The col- 

 ors are shell-pink, 

 rose and ruby-red, 

 a shade or two 

 deeper at the cen- 

 ter, and exqui- 

 sitelj' tinted to- 

 ward the edge.

GLOWING BALL 



1842 [Kochia scoparia) 



We predict that tliis new annual plant 

 will be very popular as soon as it is 

 known. It is an annual and grows easily 

 and quickly from seed sown in the open 

 ground. It grows 2 to 2\i feet high, 

 with many slender branches pressed 

 close to the main stem. A singular 

 feature of this plant is that it aKvays 

 keeps a globul.'ir form, even when very 

 small, a row of them making a very 

 striking object all through their growth. 

 They are a beautihil, light, feathery 

 ,;ree'n until September, when the whole 

 ]ilant becomes a solid mass of bright 

 ^carlet flowers, the bushy plants resem- 

 bling balls of fire. They should be 

 ])lan"ted at least 2 to 3 feet apart each 

 way ; or, the seed can be sown in 

 in.asses, as in the fall of the year a solid 

 mass of them is very handsome. \'ery
