Hollyhocks generally grow to a good height, but it is not often one hears of a specimen 12ft Sin high (states the Wanganui' Chronicle). This remarkable height has been attained by a plant grown by Mrs Versey, Putiki, and many people passing that way have inspected it, their interest being roused by the abnormal length of the stem. Last year a holly, hock grown in Wanganui was known to reach the height of Bft, but this specimen surely constitutes a record.
