Daelphiniu 
The modern Delphiniums are unquestionably 
the most majestic of all hardy garden flowers. 
Many lovely garden pictures can be produced 
by combining them with other plants, as, for 
instance, the Hardy Lilies listed on page 94. 
Delphinium seed may be sown over an ex- 
tended period of time. Some growers prefer 
to start their seed in flats during the month 
of February. This permits transplanting the 
seedlings to the-garden in late spring, and 
frequently a small flower spike is obtained 
before winter sets in. The following year they 
develop in all their glory. Many gardeners 
start the seed in a small outdoor seed bed in 
April. Good results are also obtained by sow- 
ing the seed in a cold frame during the 
months of July and August.
