HOLLYHOCK 
Sow from June to August in light soil. Thin out the seedlings sufficiently 
early to allow individual development of growth. In October plant out where 
to bloom. The plants should have a mulching of leaves or litter for winter pro¬ 
tection, or should be planted in coldframes for early flowering. In our climate 
it is best to sow every season, treating the plant as a biennial. This fine old 
plant, once so popular, deserves a place in every flower garden. The new va¬ 
rieties afford fine form and most elegant coloring.
