Delphinium— T/ze Gardener's Pride 



Hardy Larkspur. (Perennial) Flower lovers always want to raise the finest 

 spikes of this most beautiful of perennials. While the soil and the culture given 

 the plants influences the kind of flowers grown, so also does the seed. JMaule offers 

 here some wonderful strains of Delphinium seed to help Maule customers grow 

 the very finest. 



An Exhibition Dahlia 



Dahlias from Seed 



It requires only about 2 weeks longer for Dahlias to flower 

 from seed than from tubers. The seed should be started in 

 boxes just as with choice annuals or early vegetables, and 

 the little plants set out when the weather warms up. 

 Dahlia seed seldom produces flowers just like the parents 

 — so one can never be certain what his flowers will look 

 like, their color, etc. There is always possibility of raising 

 some fine new Dahlia — as many amateurs fiave done. 

 Quality, however, is passed on to the offspring — so plant 

 only the best Dahlia seed.
