these may be, in small number at any rate, in a win- 

 dow during winter. When the spring comes, cut 

 them up into cuttings, put these in the ground where 

 you wish to have plants during the summer. They 

 will be in bloom by July, and, before October, will 

 I be large as a currant tree. Take off cuttings from 

 : these during September, put them in pots, and they

354. HOLLYHOCK.— This is a fine showy
