TRY THE NEW IMPERIAL LARKSPUR -YOU’LL LIKE IT 
LARKSPUR □ 
(Normal germination, 20-25 days) 
Larkspur or Annual Delphinium is of unsurpassed 
merit for massing in the border, as well as for 
cutting. Native to many parts of North Temperate 
Zone. Tall, upright, base-branching in habit, the 
Giant Imperials have passed all other types of 
Larkspur for florists’ and general garden use. 
The Delphinium-like spikes of double flowers, 
carried on stems 4-5 feet long, are compactly 
placed on upright growing plants, requiring only 
about half the space needed for the old Stock 
Flowered type.

taller types are valuable for cutting. Marigolds 
are shallow rooters, and apt to be blown about 
unless staked. Easy to grow. In bloom for 90 
days. Native from New Mexico to Argentina.
