Beautiful annual LARKSPUR 
This annual of ancient lineage enjoys a never-waning popularity. 
In fact, it is used more every year. The new varieties of our modern 
Larkspurs are very large and double with a superb color range. 
They bloom from seed sown in the spring as soon as the frost 
is out, or they may be started in the hot bed in March or April and 
transplanted in May. 
They like cool weather in which to germinate—not cold, wet 
ground, but the kind of weather we have in early fall and late spring. 
Plant in the open ground in California and southern states during 
late fall or early spring. 
This year we are offering the new Early Flowering Giant Imperial 
type—truly a gorgeous flower.
