SUMMER AND FALL 1934 SEED AND BULB CATALOG 
DO YOU LIKE THRILLS? 
Then Play With Seeds from our “MOTHER OF PEARL” DELPHINIUM, 
Known by Us as 55/66 as Parent Plants 
These plants are a remarkable break from a pure white parent, producing 
marvelous blue and white double flowering seedlings (mostly in blue), now and 
then a beautiful strange “Mother of Pearl” color. All seedlings we have so far 
raised have been of remarkable vigor, great beauty with huge mostly double 
flowers. Some have been fluted and ruffled. Beautiful blues. We are offering 
this year for the first time, seeds from these parent plants at $2.50 a full packet 
(approx. 200 seeds) and $1.50 for l / 2 packet. Seed subject to crop and very little 
of it. First come first served. Orders will be filled strictly in rotation in fairness 
to all. 
NOTICE: Please, be particular to state in your order: “Seed from ‘Mother of 
Pearl 55/66’.” 
SEEDS FROM BLUE AND WHITE “SEEDLINGS”—PARENT PLANTS 55/66 
As announced in our spring catalog, we grew some wonderful WHITE and 
BLUE seedlings in 1933 from seed of our “Mother of Pearl” 55/66 plants, which 
bloomed that fall and from which we sold quantities of seeds to our customers 
during spring of 1934. We again offer seed from these plants after having dis¬ 
carded this summer all plants that were not perfect in health, manner of growth 
and striking beauty, taking the seed from the best WHITES and the best BLUES
