Annual Larkspurs 



Annual Larkspurs 



jjt^_^ } This is one of the best-known of garden flowers, and in recent 



years a vast improvement has been effected by careful selection in 



size and color of the blossoms and the general habit of the plant. 



Seeds sown in the open ground before the close of April will produce 



^fe flowering plants by the beginning of July, and give a continuous 



^■^ succession of flowers from then until frost, a record that is not 



^^ ^y surpassed by any other annual. They make handsome beds or 



f^ ^f 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. 3 feet. Illustrated in colors on page 57.
