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.
