DELPHINIUM 
STRAINS OF SUPERIOR MERIT FOR THE COMMERCIAL GROWER 
PACIFIC STRAIN HYBRIDS 
(Vetterle & Reinelt) 
The qualities we look for in Delphinium are 
not only huge flowers and spikes, regardless 
of other characteristics. We must also con- 
sider color and form. This strain of Delphin- 
ium was bred to produce large flowers prop- 
erly proportioned to the size of the spike so as 
to maintain balance and retain the grace of 
the entire plant. Another important feature 
of this strain is its comparative mildew re- 
sistance.
