(g) ANNUAL HOLLYHOCK, Indian Spring 
Silver Medal—1939 All-America Selections 
Semi-double fringed flowers in shades of pink, from bright rose to rosy 
carmine, are freely produced on 4 to 5 ft. plants the first season. Should 
be sown in early spring to be transplanted in the open ground some six 
weeks later. Ten weeks later it will be in full flower. After the main or 
central stem has produced its flowers, the side branches begin to bloom so 
that a continuous display is to be had. A novelty of exceptional merit. 
Hollyhock, Indian Spring introduces an entirely new race or type of 
Hollyhock, destined to put the old biennial type off the map. Its origin 
began with a few seeds of a single type (blooming in three months), brought 
to Shreveport by the late John Gunther from a small island near Cuba. 
From the office of Lane Wilson Seed Store, seeds were taken to Holland 
by N. Sluis of Sluis en Groot where breeding work was carried on for 
several years and in 1939 Indian Spring was released to the world. S. & G. 
now advise that from 2500 double crosses they expect 48 per cent doubles 
which will probably be released in 1941. Price, 15c.
