HOLLYHOCK. Althea Rosea

 mixed border, or planted in bold groups on the lawn. They 

 require a deep, rich soil, and are particularly at home in a 

 sunny corner. An occasional spraying of Bordeaux IV^xture 

 should be applied if rust appears on the foliage. A sprinkling 

 of lime should be added to the soil when cultivated.

 free flowering, and more artistic in petal arrangement
