this characteristic accounts for the remarkably <br> long flowering period and besides the plants continuously push out side <br> branches as well as new spikes from the base all of which also develop their <br> quota of flowers almost ad infinitum <br> The diversity of forms and colors among the flowers affords many delight- <br> ful surprises Some plants produce densely double flowers without guards <br> others with guard petals; there are semi-doubles with Anemone-flowered <br> centers some with smooth-edged petals others flounced fringed etc and <br> all flowers are usually very large some measuring five inches across In <br> colors there is also great variety some richly brilliant others dainty and <br> exquisite then there are colors and tints in charming combinations There <br> are maroon black pink chamois-rose apricot with garnet throat crimson <br> canary-yellow pink with claret throat and veins blush with carmine lacings <br> cerise white scarlet blush with white throat magenta apricot with buff <br> margin wine-red with white edge etc etc <br> The plants are of vigorous and healthy growth and naturally branching <br> in habit The center spike if not pinched attains a height of from 8 to 10 <br> feet after which if permitted the side shoots from the base commence to <br> lengthen growing candelabra-like 3 to 5 feet long The plants are amenable <br> to training; that is the main stem may be kept at any desired height by <br> pinching out the tip or it may be kept low and induce earlier development <br> in the side branches thus forming a bush See cut <br> Price of Seed ” Henderson's Ever' Blooming Annual Hollyhock <br> Grand Combination Mixture of doubles and semi-doubles including all <br> colors shades and variegations Per Pkt about 50 seeds 15c Per 600 <br> seeds 1 00 <br> Hardy Double HOLLYHOCK <br> Grand summer and autumn flowering plants bearing long spikes of double <br> flowers 3 to 4 inches across They are old inhabitants of our gardens but <br> are now so improved in doubleness and enlarged in size under our special <br> culture and hybridization as to be revelations of gorgeous beauty to those <br> who have not seen these improved sorts Hardy biennials 5 to 8 feet high <br> The seed we offer has been saved from an unrivaled collection <br> Double Blush Pkt 10c <br> Canary-yellow 10c <br> Crimson 10c <br> Deep Rose 10c <br> Lavender 10c <br> Light Apricot 10c <br> Extra Choice Double Mixed From <br> 1 000 seeds 75c <br> Double Black Pkt 10c <br> Maroon 10c <br> Pink 10c <br> Purple 10c <br> White 10c <br> Violet Center 10c <br> named varieties <br> Pkt 10c <br> COLLECTIONS of Double Hardy Hollyhock Seeds <br> 6 Separate Colors 40c 12 Separate Colors 75c <br> Single-flowering Hollyhocks Mixed Colors 1 000 seeds 50c Pkt 5c <br> Allegheny Hollyhocks Mixed Colors Semi-double fringed flowers <br> 1 000 seeds 60c Pkt 10c <br> HENDERSON S EVER-BLOOMING ANNUAL HOLLYHOCK <br> TWO GRAND OLD ENGLISH HOLLYHOCKS <br> Palling Belle A very fine form of Hollyhock bearing large double flowers <br> of a charming shade of silvery-pink It was found in a cottager's garden in <br> Norfolk by Mr W Watson the curator of Kew Gardens England Pkt 30c <br> Golden Glory This splendid variety produces immense double golden- <br> yellow flowers in handsome spikes 6 to 8 feet high It is of healthy robust <br> growth having tough dark green leaves and has proven immune to Hollyhock <br> diseases Pkt 25c <br> HUMULUS or JAPAN HOP <br> Rapid summer climber in three or four weeks' time attaining a height of 20 <br> to 30 feet resembling the common Hop but being an annual attains full per- <br> fection the first season The foliage is luxuriant making a dense covering It <br> is one of the best plants for covering verandas trellises etc Heat drought <br> and insects do not trouble it Pkt 5c <br> Silver Striped Japan Hop A beautiful variety of the above Green leaves <br> blotched and striped white and gray See cut Pkt 10c <br> IMPATIENS HOLSTII HYBRIDS <br> Handsome plants from East Africa forming bushes 12 to 18 inches high The <br> flowers 114 to 1 inches across are of scarlet orange-red pink and white <br> with a red eye The plants grow luxuriantly out-of-doors and form effective <br> and unusually showy flower beds by their great abundance of bloom If grown <br> in pots they are equally effective Sown in heat in March the seedlings may be <br> planted out end of May and will be continuously in bloom from June until the <br> frost destroys them Mixed Colors Pkt 25c <br> I°d ttn r PICTURESQUE GARDENS by Charles Henderson l Z s T AV Lt\ d r e e Z fi wiw <br> Lawn Garden or Grounds <br> Jj 00 postpaid 43874887 149634 78295 Page 95 Text http //www biodiversitylibrary org/page/43874887 c1915 10 5962/bhl title 78295 Henry G Gilbert Nursery and Seed Trade Catalog Collection ;
