“Everlasting or Strawflower”’ 
These improved double ‘“‘varicties’’ produce much larger and more 
double flowers than the old varieties. They are showy garden annuals, of 
free growth, producing abundantly during the summer. However, they 
are chiefly prized for their availability for decorative purposes, during 
the winter months. ) ; 
The dried flowers lend themselves admirably for table adornment in 
the home or in hotels, or for making up ornamental baskets. In fact they 
may be used for almost any floral decoration. 2 to 3 feet high.

Ever-Blooming 
Henderson’s Annual Hollyhocks 
Flower the First Season from Seed 
Every Garden may now be Glorified with Queenly Holly- 
hocks Grown as Easily and Flowering as Quickly 
from Seed as any Garden Annual 
The old favorite Hollyhock can seldom be flowered from seed before the 
second year, and as the young plants frequently winter-kill, it has limited 
the cultivation of Hollyhocks to those willing to give the young plants 
special winter care. All of this bother is obviated in growing our annual’ 
ollyhocks, for they flower the first season from seed. 
_ The plants from early-sown seed set out in May commence blooming 
in July, the May-sown in August, and in either event then flower pro- 
fusely until frost. 
_ The diversity of forms and colors among the flowers affords many de- 
lightful surprises, pore Elan produce densely double flowers without 
Bure others with guard petals: there are semi-doubles with Anemone- 
owered centers, some with Pnbct ceed petals, others flounced, fringed, 
etc., and all flowers are usually very large, some measuring five inches 
across. In colors there is also great variety, some richly brilliant, others 
dainty and exquisite, then there are colors and tints in charming combi- 
nations. There are maroon, black, pink, chamois-rose, apricot with 
garnet throat, crimson, canary-yellow, pink with claret throat and veins, 
lush with carmine lacings, cerise, white, scarlet, blush with white throat 
magenta, apricot with buff margin, wine-red with white edge, etc., etc.
