Tall Annual Double Giant Imperial Larkspur 
Annual Larkspurs (sometimes called An¬ 
nual Delphiniums) have been so much im¬ 
proved the past few years that nothing sur¬ 
passes them for quick and pleasing results 
from spring sown seed. 
Just sow the seed out in the garden in April 
or early May. You will have a grand display 
from midsummer until killing frosts. Thin 
to 12 inches. 
The Tall Annual Larkspurs (3 to 5 feet 
high) not only brighten up your garden, but 
are also splendid for cutting. These Lark¬ 
spurs branch from the base and have very 
long flower stems. 
Here are the newest and most charming of 
this race of prize-winning Tall Double Annual 
Larkspurs. See illustration. Note the many 
spikes of blooms, all from one plant. All 
Larkspurs priced prepaid.

Make Several Thinnings 
You will have stronger plants and better 
“luck” if you thin your plants partially when 
they are very small, then take out some more 
when you are sure of having plenty that are 
strong and sturdy. Later you may find so 
many plants doing well that still more could 
be spared. If plants are close together, hold 
the soil down around the roots of the plant 
that is to be left, while you pull out others 
around it. Thus you will not disturb the root 
and weaken, maybe kill, the plant that is left.
