HOLLYHOCK—Althaea Rosea 
Hardy Perennial 
No hardy garden is complete without the stately 
and majestic Hollyhock. They lend beauty to the hardy 
border or shrubbery which cannot be secured with any 
other plant. 
The Hollyhock requires a deeply dug, well enriched 
soil and should be well supplied with water during the 
summer months. They will live and thrive for years if 
protected around the collar with sand or coal ashes dur¬ 
ing winter and if the stem is left a foot or so high in¬ 
stead of being cut to the ground, it will prevent the 
crown from rotting. 
So far as we know, there is no absolute cure or pre¬ 
vention of the Hollyhock disease but we are pleased to 
give our patrons the benefit of a remedy found most ef¬ 
fective by the specialists in England. 
“Slack one peck of lime and when cool add one peck 
of soot, 1 pound of flowers of sulphur and half an ounce 
of sulphate of copper (finely powdered). Pass the mix¬ 
ture through a fine sieve and dust the plants well over 
with it three or four times during the growing season, 
preferably early in the day while the dew is still on the 
plants.” 
We regret that we are obliged to withdraw our list 
of named varieties for this season, having sold ourselves 
short and unable to obtain any stock from England this 
year. We hope, however, to be able to offer them again 
next season. 
We have a very fine strain of double Hollyhocks in 
mixed colors, which we are offering at. .30 2.50
