annual, others perennial or as shrubs. We are dealing here only with 
the Giant Mallow of recent introduction which is a tall plant about 
three to four feet high with immense white, pink or red, hollyhock-like 
flowers, freely produced during the summer. 
Culture. A rich, moist, well drained soil suits them best. Best planted as 
single specimens in full sun in the border, or in groups of three or more 
on the lawn. Plant in fall or spring, 24 inches apart.

HOLLYHOCKS - Althea Rosea 
Culture. Hollyhocks require a rich, generous, well drained soil. If in the 
least degree heavy, add plenty of sand and manure to lighten it, and 
should it be inclined to be too light, dig in plenty of cow manure with a 
little heavy. loam. The plants must have full sun, and they show to the 
best advantage when grouped together in bold masses. As the plants 
grow 6 to 8 feet high, they must, of course, be grown at the back of the 
border, and should be fully eight inches apart. Plant in fall or spring.
