HOLLYHOCK, Haile Selassie 
The large, semi-double flowers are so deep a maroon that 
they seem to be black, and their color is sharply accented by 
the yellow stamens, producing a fascinating combination of 
black and gold. Hardy perennial, 534 feet high, 
Reporting on the New York World’s Fair under date of June S, 
here is what the Herald Tribune says about this variety: “L.ouis B. Tim, 
of Long Branch, N. J., created a sensation among garden fans by show¬ 
ing a new double, almost black Hollyhock which has been named Haile 
Selassie. Mr. Tim exhibited three large tubs containing well-grown 
plants with six or more stalks on each plant in full flower. The new 
bloom is a very dark maroon, even darker than anything this writer has 
yet seen in the way of a flower. It is called the Black Hollyhock and 
certainly it is nearer black than any other color on the chart. Mr. Tim 
received a Certificate of Merit, the highest award that is given to a new 
plant at Gardens on Parade. Only one other such aw'ard has been 
made to date.”
