Dreer's Double Stock=flowered Annual Larkspurs, 



The annual Larkspurs have long been esteemed as one of the best and easiest grown garden flowers; yet we do not think they 

 are so generally grown as they deserve to be, and it is for the purpose of bringing them prominently to the notice of our customers 

 that we show them in colors on the plate opposite. 



There are a number of types, all good, but we consider the stock-flowered variety here offered as the best. They grow in a nicely 

 branched plant, about three feet high, and seeds sown in the open ground before the close of April will produce flowering plants. 

 by the beginning of July, and give a continuous succession of flowers from then until frost, a record that is not surpassed by any other 

 annual. They make handsome beds or lines, and their free, graceful habit and bright colors are very effective when interspersed in 

 the old-fashioned flower or shrubbery border. They stand well when cut, and a vase of one or mixed colors is indeed charming. 



It is best to sow the seeds where they are to bloom any time after frost is out of the ground. They germinate in about two weeks 

 time, and once above ground grow rapidly. We offer the following seven fine and distinct colors: 



2931 Dark Blue. Rich royal blue. No. 1 on plate. 



2932 Lilac. Soft, pretty shade. No. 5 on plate. 



2933 Lustrous Carmine. Bright carmine-pink. No. 2 on 

 plate. 



2934 Shell Pink. Delicate shade of pink. No. 4 on plate. 



2935 Sky Blue. Fine light blue. No. 6 on plate. 



2936 Tricolor. Rose, red and blue. No. 7 on plate. 



2937 Pure White. Very desirable. No. 3 on plate.
