HENDEKSON’S EVER-BLOOMING 
Annual HOLLYHOCK 
Every Garden may now be Glorified with Queenly Hollyhocks Grown as 
Easily and Flowering as Quickly from Seed as any Garden Annual 
The old favorite Hollyhock can seldom be flowered from seed before the 
second year, and as the young plants frequently winter-kill, it has limited 
the cultivation of Hollyhocks to those willing to give the young plants 
special winter care. All of this bother is obviated in growing our annual 
Hollyhocks, for they flower the first season from seed. 
The plants from early-sown seed set out in May commence blooming in 
July, the May-sown in August, and in either event they flower profusely 
until frost. 
The flower buds, borne in clusters, vary in maturity from the developing 
bud to the expanding flower; this characteristic accounts for the remarkably 
long flowering period, and, besides, the plants continuously push out side 
branches as well as new spikes from the base, all of which also develop their 
quota of flowers almost ad infinitum. 
The diversity of forms and colors among the flowers affords many delight¬ 
ful surprises. Some plants produce densely double flowers without guards, 
others with guard petals; there are semi-doubles with Anemone-flowered 
centers, some with smooth-edged petals, others flounced, fringed, etc., and 
all flowers are usually very large, some measuring fife inches across. In 
colors there is also great variety, some richly brilliant, others dainty and 
exquisite, then there are colors and tints in charming combinations. There 
are maroon, black, pink, chamois-rose, apricot with garnet throat, crimson, 
canary-yellow, pink with claret throat and veins, blush with carmine lacings, 
cerise, white, scarlet, blush with white throat, magenta, apricot with buff 
margin, wine-red with white edge, etc., etc. 
The plants are of vigorous and healthy growth and naturally branching 
in habit. The center spike, if not pinched, attains a height of from 8 to 10 
feet, after which, if permitted, the side shoots from the base commence to 
lengthen, growing candelabra-like, 3 to 5 feet long. The plants are amenable 
to training; that is, the main stem may be kept at any desired height by 
pinching out the tip, or it may be kept low and induce earlier development 
m the side branches, thus forming a bush. (See cut.)

yellow flowers in handsome spikes 6 to 8 feet high. It is of healthy, robust

diseases... Pkt. 25c.

to 30 feet, resembling the common Hop, but being an annual, attains full per¬ 
fection the first season. The foliage is luxuriant, making a dense covering. It 
is one of the best plants for covering verandas, trellises, etc. Heat, drought 
and insects do not trouble it. Pkt. 5c.

blotched and striped white and gray. (See cut.) . Pkt. 10c.

'flowers, 1 Y\ to W\ inches across, are of scarlet, orange-red, pink and white 
with a red eye. The plants grow luxuriantly out-of-doors and form effective 
and unusually showy flower beds by their great abundance of bloom. If grown 
in pots they are equally effective. Sown in heat in March the seedlings may be 
planted out end of May and will be continuously in bloom from June until the 
frost destroys them. Mixed Colors. Pkt. 25c.
