HOLLYHOCKS • Althaea 
An old-fashioned plant that seems to retain its popularity 
everywhere. Used as a single specimen, or in groups against the 
wall or building, at the rear of a hardy border, or with low shrub¬ 
bery, the plants are alike effective. Hollyhocks are hardy and 
will stand a considerable amount of neglect. However, cultivation 
and the addition of plant-food to the soil will reward you with 
much larger and better-colored blooms.

blossom pink, carmine, cream, crimson, salmon-rose, scarlet,

vantage in large beds or 
borders of mixed peren¬ 
nials. They do equally 
well in dry soil, in sun, 
or in partial shade. A 
light mulching in winter 
is desirable. We offer 
the plants in a mixture 
of red, white, and pink.
