Delphinium experts throughout the country have expressed great 

 enthusiasm about this marvelous new strain. The Giant Pacific 

 Hybrids are truly sensational and reports from many different 

 sections of the country as well as foreign lands are unanimous in their 

 praise. They received most favorable comments in the 1936 Year- 

 book of the American Delphinium Society by an outstanding authority 

 on Delphinium who, himself, is a breeder of note. 



"The Most Beautiful Delphinium 

 I have ever seen" 



These are the very words of one of our own experts on a recent 

 visit to the Pacific coast. His opinion is shared by others who say 

 . . . amazingly fine precision of placement of florets . . . rarely a 

 single . . . nicely formed bees . . . fine foUage . . . unusual uniformity 

 of habit . . . marked disease resistance . . . impressive tail spikes of 

 shghtly tapering formation. Plants with white bees predominate. 



The Giant Pacific Hydrids stand out as the showiest and most 

 glorious of all Delphinium. Under favorable conditions the plants 

 wAH reach truly gigantic heights, yet every flower spike is well formed. 

 The individual flowers are huge. They measure 2 to 3 inches in 

 diameter and are beautifully spaced on a well balanced, long spike. 

 The wiry stems are slender but strong and the colors represented have 

 been chosen with extreme care. A large percentage of the plants have 

 proved decidedly resistant to mildew. 



Note the beautiful proportions and artistic balance of these spikes
