Larkspurs and Potatoes


1880 was a good year for color illustrations in the Vick catalog. A very nicely written short piece on these magnificent catalogs can be found at the New York Historical Society Museum & Library's site.  Written by "sue" last year, I enjoyed reading it.  










I love these turnip illustrations and their appearance on the page.  Why?  I don't know.
