SPECIAL. PUDOR’S RUST PROOF HOLLYHOCKS. Every gardener knows what rust 
will do to Hollyhocks. Disfigure the whole plant. No section of the country seems to 
be immune. Thanks to a treatment with Colchicine 3 years ago, and an additional ex- 
posure of the seeds to a high voltage of X-rays in one of the country’s largest X-ray 
machines at the Swedish hospital in Seattle, we are now growing for the second season 
a strain of very double and extraordinarily large Pink and White Hollyhocks that 
appear to be absolutely free and clean of any trace of rust. The handsome, tall stalks are 
covered with rich, light green, clean leaves from bottom to top, and as we stated before, 
the flowers, probably owing to the treatment the seeds received, are exceedingly double, 
large and handsome. This strain was started from one seed and from one plant, selected 
at the time as the most promising and cleanest of the seedling lot and naturally we 
have today only a few plants. If any one is interested to try this new strain and grow 
clean rust-proof plants of this beautiful stately garden plant, we will sell a very limited 
amount of seed this fall at 50c a packet, containing 25 seeds. No guarantee that you will 
raise 25 plants! But Hollyhock seeds are easy and good germinators. Once you have the 
plants, the seed thereof will produce like, rust-proof seedlings as the parent was.. New 
and more Chromosomes created through the action and power of the Colchicine and the 
powerful exposure to the X-rays caused the change of the new plant; made a rust-proof 
strain oue of the age-long rusty plant, besides making larger, fuller and handsomer 
flowers.
