HOLLYHOCK. 



Sow from June to August, in light soil. Thin out the 

 seedlings sufficiently early to allow individual de- 

 velopment of growth. In October plant out whereto 

 bloom. The plants should have a mulching of leaves 

 or litter for winter proiectiou, or should be planted in 

 cold frames for early flowering. In our climate it is 

 best to sow every season, treating the plant as a bien- 

 nial.
