Harris' Delphinium 
Monarch of All Hardy Garden Flowers 
Hardy Perennial Culture F 
If you can find anyone who doesn’t go into 
raptures over the new magnificent Delphiniums, 
that person doesn’t like flowers. As we go up and 
down the rows in our field, looking for plants of 
still more wonderful specimens for our own 
Monarch Strain, we are almost overwhelmed by 
their irresistible majesty. Those of us who are 
fortunate enough to work with them during the 
blooming season, count those days the most 
pleasurable of the whole year. 
We here on Moreton Farm have a great admir¬ 
ation for Delphiniums and spare no effort to give 
you the best possible seed. We want to share 
their marvelous beauty with you. 
Harris* Monarch Strain 
2641 —Grown here on Moreton Farm, out in the 
open field in ordinary soil, and each plant indi¬ 
vidually selected for exceptional character and 
vigor, we claim them to be truly “Monarchs.” 
We know you can not buy better Delphinium 
seed for five times the price we ask. The plants 
are robust, producing heavy columnar spikes 
thickly set with immense florets, a large per¬ 
cent of which are double. It contains a very 
varying range of blue and mauve shades.

Delphinium and we are proud to be able to 
offer their own growing fresh, new-crop seed. 
Their mixture contains many immense double 
deep blue and purple shades.

previous summer. Pkt. 50c. 
"/ have bought seed from you for several 
seasons and everything has surpassed my 
expectations and your catalogue descriptions. 
"The Orange Hollyhock and Monarch Del¬ 
phinium are superb. I explained to my friends 
that the Monarch Delphinium seed costs me 
$1.00 a packet but I will say that this fact was 
what made me buy them. 
"I believe that people who want exceptional 
seed are attracted by the high price. I don’t 
mean to criticize, but I think it was somewhat 
of a mistake to reduce the price to 50c. 
"/ also have one Monarch Delphinium nearly 
7 feet high with 2 feet of flower spikes.” 
Lee Kimball, E. Akron, Ohio.
