HOODACRES DELPHINIUMS 
HOODACRES brings you another season’s greeting. It has been a year of steady 
advancement in Delphinium originations. Long strides have been taken since the 
Hoodacres work began in 1910. The many thousand plants in our fields to-day stand 
as living witnesses to marvelous changes in both color and form, among which are 
the Hoodacres double Whites, and their derivatives, the delicate pinks and lilacs. 
Imagine a plant, strong yet graceful, standing seven feet in height, in common soil, 
the spike long and shapely with perfectly formed florets nearly three inches across of 
delicate pink suffusing the wide open flower, like the first glow of color on snow¬ 
capped Mount Hood as the sun creeps up behind it on a spring morning. Coming 
mysteriously out from the unseen, the creative side of life, and appealing to our 
material vision and sense of the beautiful it is as a message of love from the home¬ 
land of love. The plant described is no doubt already named but the name has not 
arrived. Very likely it will come in much the same strange manner as Pearl Necklace, 
Angel's Breath and Velvabee. 
In both seeds and plants we are giving our patrons the benefit of each year’s 
improvements over our previous high standard. The list of such as we offer follows.
