WG'S, Tall Annual Double Giant Imperial Larkspur 
Annual Larkspurs (sometimes called An¬ 
nual Delphiniums) have been so much im¬ 
proved the past few years that nothing sur¬ 
passes them for quick and pleasing results 
from spring sown seed. 
Just sow the seed out in the garden in April 
or early May. You will have a grand display 
from midsummer until killing frosts. 
Thin to 12 inches. 
The Tall Annual Larkspurs (3 to 5 feet 
high) not only brighten up your garden, but 
are also splendid for cutting. These Lark¬ 
spurs branch from the base and have very 
long flower stems. 
Here are the newest and most charming of 
this race of Tall Double Annual Larkspurs. 
Nos. F081 and F082 both received an AWARD 
OF MERIT from the Royal Horticultural So¬ 
ciety of England.

Make Several Thinnings 
You will have stronger plants and better 
“luck” if you thin your plants partially when 
they are very small, then take out some more 
when you are sure of having plenty that are 
strong and sturdy. Later you may find so 
many plants doing well that still more could 
be spared. If plants are close together, hold 
the soil down around the roots of the plant 
that is to be left, while you pull out others 
around it. Thus you will not disturb the root 
and weaken, maybe kill, the plant that is left.
