HOLLYHOCK 
(Althaea Rosea) 
All selected English Grown 
Breck’s Silver Medal strain of seed is superior 
to any in vigor of growth, texture, quantity 
and range of color. 
Although Hollyhocks are perennials, young 
plants produce larger flowers and fresher 
colors than old ones, therefore we recom¬ 
mend the sowing of seed every year. Plants 
will flower the same year from seed sown 
in the greenhouse in January and grown on 
in pots until time for setting outdoors. Sow¬ 
ings can also be made from May to August 
for the following year’s flowering; when the 
plants are large enough, transplant to a rich, 
cool soil, giving each at least a foot of space 
for growth. The permanent border or loca¬ 
tion in which they are set should be dug 
deep and well manured. Abundance of 
water should be supplied throughout the 
entire season of growth.
