HOLLYHOCKS Have you ever noticed that painters choose single Hollyhocks as subjects for floral painting oftener than any other flower? I suppose the reason for this is that artists have a keener apprecia- tion of beauty than other people and recognize that the common, and I fear sometimes despised, single Hollyhock, is one of the most stately, picturesque and beautiful plants in the world. Nothing can be more effective than a large group or mass of single Hollyhocks, and once planted they will literally take care of them- selves, even if planted in the grass. I know of patches that have not been cultivated or disturbed in any way for twenty years. Notwithstanding their great beauty and usefulness, single Holly- hocks are not offered for sale by any nurseryman in America, and the seed is not to be had from any seedsman. I am determined to have single Hollyhocks for my landscape gardening work, so I collected seed from old-fashioned (they will soon be new-fash- ioned) gardens and had thousands of plants grown for my cus- tomers. Some people think double Hollyhocks are more beautiful than single. They are mistaken, although the doubles are beauti- ful, but inclined to be top heavy, often need staking and liable to disease. Hollyhocks planted in the fall will bloom well
