HIBISCUS - Mallow 
About one hundred and fifty to two hundred species are known, some 
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. 
Giant-Flowering Mallows

NEW SUPER GIANT HIBISCUS 
Blooms 10 to 12 inches in diameter. 
When, many years ago, the Giant Hibiscus were introduced, they created 
quite a lot of comment. The New Super Giants in many instances pro- 
| duce flowers which are 50% bigger or even more. A well grown plant 
with its immense flowers is quite a sight to behold. 
The varieties offered were all produced from selected plants noted for 
their size and freedom of bloom. Increase from divisions is slow but 
the results justify the extra effort. Give these plants ample room and 
grow them in full sunlight, watering freely.

HOLLYHOCKS .- Althea Rosea 
Handsome garden flowers full of sentiment and association with the past. 
Extensively grown not only in this country, but throughout the world; 
were originally derived from Althea rosea, a Chinese species. When well 
grown, there are no finer hardy plants in the garden than a good group 
of them in full flower. At one time preference was given to the double- 
flowered kinds, but people are beginning to realize that the single flow- 
ered sorts have a distinct beauty and charm of their own. 
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.
