54 Everblooming Annual Hollyhock 
THE BABY ROSE 
Blooms from 
Seed the 
First Season 
We have been unable until recently to secure 
seed of the true Everblooming Hollyhock, as illus¬ 
trated. They are as easily grown from seed as any 
annual and commence flowering in about 12 weeks 
and continue to bloom until killed by frost. On ac¬ 
count of their blooming the first season they are 
much more desirable to grow than any other Holly¬ 
hock, as they can be started in the house or hot beds 
in March or April, or sown in the open ground 
in May. Plants from early sown seed set out 
in May will commence blooming in July and 
will produce an abundance of bloom through- 
out the season. This Annual 
Hollyhock is a wonderful free 
flowering sort, as shown by the 
illustration. The forms and 
colors among the flow- 
era would be a surprise 
to anyone.They are pro- 
duced in double flow¬ 
ers. semi-double, single 
saucer shaped flowers, 
some with smooth 
edged petals, while oth¬ 
ers are fringed and of 
various shapes and 
shades. The flowers are 
usually very large.some- 
tirnes measuring over 
five inches across. For 
great variety of color 
we know of no Holly¬ 
hock that will make 
such a gorgeous display 
as the colors and mark¬ 
ings are beyond de¬ 
scription and should be 
grown to be appreci¬ 
ated. The plants grow 
very strong and vigor¬ 
ous and are of a 
branching habit. The 
center spike will attain 
a height from 7 to 9 feet 
but itcan bekeptatany 
desirable height by 
pinching off the top.To 
get the best results 
plants should be set in 
thoroughly rich soil and 
kept watered in dry 
weather.

weather is warm.
