 (Shown in Colors on Opposite Page) 

 2101 The qualities we look for in Delphiniums 

 are not only huge flowers and spikes re- 

 gardless of other characteristics. We 

 must also consider color and form. This 

 strain of Delphinium was bred to pro- 

 duce large flowers properly proportioned 

 to the size of spike so as to maintain 

 balance and retain the grace of the entire 

 plant. Another important feature of this 

 strain is its comparative mildew resis- 

 tance. Mixed Colors Pkt. 50c
