HOLLYHOCK 



Henderson's Ever-blooming Annual 

 Flower the First Season from Seed 



The plants from early-sown seed set out in May 

 commence blooming in July, the jMay-sown in August 

 and in either event they flower profusely until frost. 



The flower buds, borne in clusters, vary in maturity 

 from the developing bud to the expanding flower; 

 this characteristic accounts for the remarkably long 

 flowering period, and, besides, the plants continuously 

 push outside branches as well as new spikes from the 

 base, all of which also develop their quota of flowers 

 almost ad infinitum. 



The diver.sity of forms and colors among the flowers 

 affords many delightful surprises. Some plants pro- 

 duce densely double flowers without guards, others 

 with guard petals; there are semi-doubles with Anem- 

 one-flowered centers, some with smooth-edged petals, 

 others flounced, fringed, etc., and all flowers are 

 usually very large, some measuring 5 inches across.- 

 In colors there is also great variety, some richly bril- 

 liant, others dainty and exquisite, then there are 

 colors and tints in charming combinations. 



The plants are of vigorous and healthy growth and 

 naturally branching in habit. The center spike, if 

 not pinched, attains a height of from 8 to 10 feet, 

 after which, if permitted, the side shoots from the 

 base commence to lengthen, growing candelabra-like, 

 3 to 5 feet long- The plants are amenable to training: 

 that is, the main stem may be Icept at any desired 

 height by pinching out the tip, or-it may be kept low 

 and induce earlier development in the side branches 

 thus forming a bush. (.See eiigraving.) 



2450 Grand Mixture. Doubles and serai-doubles, 

 including all colors, shades and variegations. 



Per 500 seeds, $1.00; Pkt. 15c.
