cut back after blooming, they will bloom a second time. 
Let seed thoroughly ripen before picking. Pick just as 
pod opens; else you will lose the seed. Do not allow any 
inferior plant to live. Dig it out; else it may pollute youi 
entire bed as far as seed is concerned. 
Plants of Special Mention 
I have developed many plants that are unusual. My 
Rosabelle—a true old rose, solid in color—is the only one 
in existence so far as I know. It is most striking in 
appearance, beautiful in the exti'eme, hardy and the full 
equal in size of bloom, head and stalk of any delph now 
grown. It is destined to be the sensation of the floral 
world when I release it for sale. 
My Mt. Tacoma is as near a true double white as has 
been developed to date. It is of fine form and size, but 
to me a white delph is not attractive; I want color. Then 
we have our Blue Plume, a velvety double marine blue, 
without a trace of other color, to my mind the finest 
true delphinium blue developed thus far. 
No plants of these great THREE are for sale. Seed, 
however, is available with no guarantee that they will 
produce true to type.
