Hollyhock--No garden flower is more showy or more admired. The plants are stately in appearance; the flowers brilliant in color and delicate in texture. Why are they not more popular? It is because of the erroneous idea that the plants will not bloom till the second season from seed. Blooming plants can be raised the first year as easily as plants of Zinnia or Marigold. All that is necessary is to start the seeds in a box in the house in March. About May 1st transfer to permanent place in garden where they will produce elegant spikes of flowers in August and September, and thereafter from year to year. Our seed is the very best obtainable.
