DELPHIN KUM (Hardy Perennial Larkspur), 
Mr, W, C. Egan, the well-known amateur and writer on hor- 
ticultural subjects, says of Delphiniums : 
‘¢ Sow the seeds in early spring indoors or in hotbeds in shal- 
low boxes. When the seedlings are about three-quarters of an 
inch high, transplant to flats three or four inches apart each way, 
and a week or ten days before planting out time remove the flats 
to open air, protecting them cold days or nights; this hardens 
them off and prevents any set-back when planted out. 
‘«Spring-sown plants bloom in July and August. They take 
up very little room, for they may be planted six to eight inches 
apart the first season. The following spring the choicer ones 
may be planted in permanent quarters in groups of three or more, 
or in larger groups in the shrubbery border or to the rear of 
hardy perennials, two or three feet apart. In two or three years 
they should be taken out, the beds heavily manured, the plants 
reset and more room given each plant.”’ 
They can also be sown in the open ground in spring, but 
would not likely flower until the second year.
