" The hollyhocks are favorite garden plants with the Chinese of North China, 

 thriving well in the semiarid climate of northeast Asia. Among these preceding 

 numbers there is one said to be black, No. 1067a (S. P. I. No. 24011), but in 

 all probability the seeds will appear to be very much mixed, as with nearly 

 all seeds to be had in China. There may be hardier and more disease-resistant 

 varieties than those we possess at present among this lot." (Meyer.)
