Ever-Blooming 
Henderson’s Annual Hollyhocks 
Flower the First Season from Seed 
Every Garden may now be Glorified with Queenly Hollyhocks 
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 
sub ene May-sown in August, and in either event they flower profusely 
until frost. 
The diversity of forms «ud colors among the flowers affords many delightful 
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 yery 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 cembinations. There are maroon, P& 
black, pink, chamois-rose, apricot with garnet throat, crimson, canary-yellow, Py 
pink with claret throat and veins, blush with carmine lacings, cerise, white, By 
scarlet, blush with white throat magenta, apricot with buff margin, wine-red 
with white edge, etc., etc. (See illustration.) i
