Hollyhock
Hollyhock (Althoea rosea). There is also a sub-species. A. R. Biloba. This flower has lately gained the attention from florists it deserves; and there are now many varieties. Dr. Lindley justly observes that, "the hollyhock is little more than a biennial, and frequently dies suddenly if sown too early in the first season, or if allowed to remain long in the seed-bed before transplanting; therefore the best way to keep them in health is not to sow them before June, and when large enough to transplant them singly where they are to remain and flower in the following season: afterwards cut them down as soon as they have done flowering, and remove them to a fresh situation, where the ground has been well manured, before winter. By continuing this treatment you may keep the same variety for years." - Gard. Chron.
