Double Hollyhocks 
Stately, majestic hardy plants, from 6 to 8 feet high, 
which are a necessary part of every old-fashioned gar¬ 
den, and should also find a place interspersed with 
shrubbery, as clumps on the lawn or in the mixed 
border, where their colossal spikes of bloom produce 
bold and showy effects, which cannot be secured with 
any other flowering plant. The Hollyhock requires a 
deeply dug, well drained soil. We offer an excep¬ 
tionally fine strain of Double Hollyhocks in the fol¬ 
lowing colors: White, New¬ 
port, Pink, Sunset, Crimson, 
Lilac and Yellow. Sold 
only in sets of six, one of 
each color as above.
