HOLLYHOCKS 
Our experience is 
that the most satis 
factory results to the 
average grower is to 
sow mixed seed to 
have an endless ar¬ 
ray of shades. We, 
therefore,put up the 
basic colors separ¬ 
ately and include in 
each the several 
shades of that color, 
and offer an espec¬ 
ially f le mixture, 
saved from most 
perfect specimens. 
Sown this Autumn 
they will bloom next 
Spring. 
It must be remem¬ 
bered that Holly¬ 
hocks from seed, 
even from the most 
intensely double 
flowers, cannot be 
depended jripon to 
produce always 
double flowering 
plants, nor will the 
shade and color nec¬ 
essarily be true to 
the parent flower.In 
deed, from seed you 
are quite likely to 
receive new and 
strangely beautiful 
combinations in col¬ 
or. Those who wish 
to be absolutely cer¬ 
tain of getting doub¬ 
le flowers, oi* plants of specific color, must buy plants, or 
propagate them from cuttings. Hollyhocks are really Bi¬ 
ennials, but seed themselves, and therefore, should havo 
some slight protection where it Is quite cold during Winter.
