HENDERSON’S blooming 
ANNUAL HOLLYHOCKS 
FLOWER THE FIRST SEASON FROM SEED 
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 plant’s 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, va.-y in maturity from the developing 
bud to the expanding flower; this characteristic accounts for the remark¬ 
ably long flowerng 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 
delightful 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 five inches 
across. In colors there is also great variety, some richly brilliant, others 
dainty and exquisite, then there are colors and tints in charming combina¬ 
tions. 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, ma¬ 
genta, 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 com¬ 
mence to lengthen, growing candelabra-like, 3 to 5 feet long. 1 he 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 in the side branches thus forming a bush.

From those who have grown Henderson’s Annual Ever- 
Blooming Hollyhocks 
"/ was very much pleased with the Ever-Blooming Hollyhocks 1 had from 
you last year. They commenced blooming in August and continued in 
bloom until cut off by frost.'’ GEO. A. PITT, Portland, Maine . 
“I have never known such, fine Hollyhocks as came from your Ever- Blooming 
kind, the seeds of which were planted in the open ground last April. They 
began to flower the last of July and I had six, eight or ten spikes on nearly 
every plant. One CANNOl' praise them enough.”
