Single Hollyhocks 
HOLLYHOCKS (H# 6 ft.) 
The annual Hollyhocks will bloom the first year from seed 
if started early but the perennial (Chaters) variety should be 
started in the spring and transplanted the following fall to their 
permanent location. They like a stiff rather dry soil. For 
bordering the flower garden, there is nothing to take the place 
of the Hollyhock. They also make good hedges and screens.

are over. They make the brightest of beds, borders, and rank 
as one of the most important of cutflowers. The flowers are pea

LARKSPUR (HO 5 ft.) 
These old garden favorites have been bred and improved until 
today they are among our most beautiful flowers. Among all 
of the families of larkspur, the Giant Imperials rank first in 
size, form, and brilliance of their colors. These Giant Imperials 
of today look much like our best Delphiniums. They are im- 
portant both as garden flowers and for cutting, being very much 
in demand by the best florists. Sow the seed early in the 
spring where the plants are to remain and give frequent shallow 
cultivation. In the South, seed may be sowed in the fall and 
they will give early spring blossoms. ;
