HOLLYHOCK 
Owing to the ravages of the Hollyhock 
rust or brand, the cultivation of this stately 
plant has been given up in many gardens. 
Now that so many beautiful forms are to 
to be obtained quite true from seed, this 
delightful subject should again become 
popular, as seedlings are less prone to the 
disease than plants raised from cuttings. 
We therefore recommend our customers to 
again give this useful plant a place in their 
borders. 
Where plants have suffered from rust in 
previous years, seedlings should be sprayed 
with Bordeaux Mixture early in spring, and 
again when the flower spikes are forming. 
Seed is usually sown in summer, and the 
plants grown on to flower next season, but 
some prefer to sow in boxes or on a hotbed 
early in the year, prick the young plants out, 
and plant out in April to bloom same 
summer.
