doubles. It is grown in southern California under ideal conditions, in 
a locality free of singles, pompons and other small types, and therefore 
should produce doubles of top size. It is gathered from the newest and 
best varieties, well ripened and hand picked.

HYBRID DELPHINIUMS 
Delphiniums are very hardy perennials, thriving in any climate. They 
need rich soil, plenty of water and sunshine. Given these, they will 
reward you by blooming two, and in some localities three times each 
season. There are few perennials that have the charm of Delphiniums. 
They vary in color from the palest sky blue to the deepest indigo, and 
in height from three to eight feet. They are indispensable in the her¬ 
baceous border or garden, gorgeous as a background, in groups, or as 
single specimens. They are easy to grow and a lasting delight in any 
garden. Our hybrids are the result of careful selection, and hybridizing 
has given us marvelous results. We offer them as follows: 
FIELD GROWN PLANTS 
To obtain immediate results use one-year-old field grown plants, as 
they possess all their initial vigor. They should be planted in the 
fall or early spring, as soon as the frost is out of the ground. 
Regular grade, strong field grown plants, each, 75c. 
Per dozen, $6.00; per hundred, $35.00 
EXTRA SELECTED SUPER HYBRIDS 
Each, $1.00; per dozen, $10.00 
These prices are net. We do not pay transportation charges on 
Delphinium plants. They are sent express collect.
