STUMPP & WALTER CO., NEW YORK CITY 
~ ANNUAL 
I LARKSPURS 
•These are among the best-known gar- 
(1^ flowers, and in recent years a vast 
ii^rovement has been effected by careful 
seiettion in size and color of the blossoms 
and the general habit of the plant. Seeds 
sowri'm the open ground before the close 
of April will produce flowering plants by 
the beginning of July, and give a con¬ 
tinuous succession of flowers from then 
until frost, a record that is not surpassed 
by any other annual. They make hand¬ 
some beds or lines, and their free, graceful 
habit and bright colors are very effective 
when interspersed with shrubbery.
