althea

First she took a magnificent white tea-rose, and pulled off all its thorns, tying around it instead some leaves of althea.

This yard had a double hedge of althea bushes which led into the back part of the Casino grounds.

It was a glorious night, and after I had washed and dressed the dear child for his grave, I went out and cut handfuls of white altheas, and strewed them over the little form.

The window where they stood was shaded on the outside by privet and althea bushes: it opened to the ground, and a sandy little footpath ran directly to the river, where her boat was moored.

Beyond a paling fence and a sandy, careworn garden of altheas and dwarf-box stood broadside to them a very plain, two-story house of uncoursed gray rubble, whose open door sent forth no welcoming gleam.
