BURPEE’S STATELY 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 the easiest culture, 
succeeding best in deep, rich, well-drained soil. The plants like a warm, sunny location, 
sheltered from the wind and should be staked. Bloom from late spring until midsummer.

Regal Lily Pkt. 15¢ 
LILIES FROM SEED— Lilium 
Lilies are easily grown from seed and last 
for years once they have become estab- 
lished. While the flowers delight in full 
sun, the soil around the base of the plants 
should be provided with a mulch. 
3830 Philippinense Formosanum If 
seed is sown early, many blooms may be 
expected the first year. It usually requires 
6 to 8 months after seed is sown before 
flowers appear. If grown in pots, plants will 
often bloom two or three times a year. 
Long, trumpet-shaped white flowers with 
reflexing petals are borne in umbels and 
somewhat resemble an Easter Lily. 2 to 3 ft.
