Ever-Blooming 



Henderson's Annual Hollyhocks 



Rower 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 voung 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 

 Hollyhocks, 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. Some plants produce densely double flowers without 

 guards, others with guard petals: there are semi-doubles with Anemone- 

 flowered centers, some with smooth-edged 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, 

 blush with carmine lacings, cerise, white, scarlet, blush with white throat 

 magenta, apricot with buff margin, wine-red with white edge, etc., etc.
