Annual Larkspurs of Exquisite Coloring 
Larkspurs are one of the important families of annuals that have 
been greatly improved by modern breeding methods. Perfectly hardy, 
they flower quickly from seed sown early in the open, and if the faded 
blossoms are kept cut will give a long season of bloom. The new pinks 
are especially fine and with the dark blue varieties furnish a vivid 
color contrast.
