HOLLYHOCK, Henderson's Ever-blooming (Annual) 



(.See Colored Plate, Page 103) 



The old favorite Hollyhock can seldom be flowered from seed before the second year, and the young 

 plants frequently winter-kill. These annual Hollyhocks flower the first season from seed. 



The plants from early-sown seed set out in May commence blooming in July and August, and then 

 flower profusely until frost. 



Some plants produce densely double flowers without guards, others with guard petals; there are semi- 

 doubles with Anemone-flowered centers, etc., and maroon pink, crimson, canary-yellow, cerise, white, 

 scarlet, apricot, wine-red, etc., etc.
