Burpee^s Hollyhocks 
Hollyhocks are old garden favorites, excellent for a background to dwarfer 
plants, for screening unsightly places, and planting along bare walls. They are 
of easiest culture, succeeding best in deep, rich, well-drained soil. The plants 
like a warm, sunny location. Bloom from late spring until midsummer.
