Hollyhocks - 1872 and 1941



Library of Congress image - Hollyhocks. Vincennes, Indiana, July 1941







This James Vick catalog from 1872 only offers one variety, a double.



The copy is also very amusing compared to modern catalog descriptions and comments.




The following Vick's Floral Guide from 1875 speaks highly of the hollyhock, however.
