Delphinium (Hardy Perennial Larkspur) 



Seed may be sown any time from Spring till Autumn. Sow in fine soil to 

 the depth of the seed, not deeper than f inch. Firm the soil and moisten 

 thoroughly. Keep shaded and moist, with a free circulation of air at all 

 times. In about 20 days the pointed seed leaves will appear, remove shade 

 and when the true, or round leaves appear, transplant to their permanent 

 places. Keep the seedlings shaded until the roots take hold and then let the 

 sun and rain do their work. 



Early spring sowings will produce some flowers in the early Fall and will 

 be at their best the following Spring. per pkt.
