HOLLYHOCKS Few hardy plants combine as many good qualities as the Hollyhock. For planting in rows or groups on the lawn, or for interspersing among shrubbery, they are invaluable. The flowers form perfect rosettes of the most lovely shades of yellow, crimson, rose, pink, orange, white, black, etc. The Hollyhock requires a rich, deep soil, well drained, and will repay in quality and elegance of bloom any extra care. A slight pro- tection in the winter will be beneficial. HYPERICUM - St. John's Wort Hypericum calycinum. About 1 foot high, leathery dark green leaves. Flowers golden yellow. H. densiflorum.
