Grand summer and autumn flowering plants, bearing long spikes of 

 double flowers, 3 to 4 inches across. They are old inhabitants of our 

 gardens, but are now so improved in doubleness and enlarged in size, 

 under our special culture and hybridization, as to be revelations of gor- 

 geous be"auty to those who have not seen these improved sorts. Hardy 

 biennials — or short-lived perennials — 5 to 8 feet high. The seed we offer 

 has been saved from an unrivaled collection. (See illustration.)

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 

 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 arc 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 arc 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 bult margin, wine-red with white edge, etc., etc.
