DELPHINIUM O 
(Normal germination, 20-35 days) 
The Delphiniums are showy perennials. Very 
easy to cultivate and beautiful for borders. The 
foliage is dark green, much divided, throwing out 
to perfection the blossoms, which are terminal 
spikes of blue. Although hardy perennials, the 
plants will bloom the first autumn and again the 
following spring. All seed pods should be re¬ 
moved to encourage new bloom. A good, deep, 
rich soil will make large flowers. Seed sometimes 
germinates slowly and irregularly, and seed-bed 
should be placed where it may remain undis¬ 
turbed for at least 6 months. 2-6 feet tall. Be¬ 
lieved to have been discovered in Siberia, though 
is native throughout the North Temperate Zone.
