THE FINEST KNOWN DELPHINIUMS 
I offer the Finest Strain of Hybrid Del¬ 
phiniums known, and at the head of the list 
is Vis Bros.’ Improved Mastodon. The.plants 
of this superb strain grow from 5 to 7ft high, 
are hardy and stool out into several strong 
branching stems, each of which bears an im¬ 
mense spiral-like truss of huge single or double 
flowers. These embrace a wide range of colors 
from white to indigo blue, many with shad¬ 
ings of pink, violet, red, and black in the 
most exquisite contrast. If the trusses are 
freely cut, so that seeds are not developed 
the plants will keep in bloom throughout the 
season. This splendid strain of Hybrid Del¬ 
phiniums can hardly be surpassed, and I am 
glad to offer new-crop seeds direct from the 
Vis Gardens, saved from their best plants 
and flowers. Packets of 60 seeds 5cts. 
Blackmore and Langdon Strain 50seeds. 
Hurst’s Monarch Strain. Of this high 
class strain, Hurst says, “this is the finest of 
Delphiniums extant, many of the plants in 
our seed-beds this season were equal in merit 
even to the latest introduction in Delphin¬ 
iums.” Reports on Hurst’s Delphiniums, 
coming from my patrons, attest their high 
quality. Here are some of them: 
Delphinium. Dear Mr. Park: The Hurst Delphinium seeds I purchased from you last Spring germinat¬ 
ed nearly 100%, and last Pall the seedlings produced the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen, on four 
foot spikes. I want to try more this year. Mrs. H. P. Conrad, feaint Clair Co., Midi., Jan. 20, 19.J4 . 
Dear Mr. Park: I wish to tell you at this time of the beautiful Delphinium blooms I had last year from 
seeds sown in the Spring. The seeds came up so well I was really surprised at the large number of plants I 
had from one packet of Hurst’s Monarch seeds. The flowers were so large and of such varied colors. L. M. 
Wegner, Lenawee Co., Mich., Feb. 6, 1934. 
Dear Mr. Park: From the seeds purchased of you last year I had very satisfactory success. Both the 
Delphinium Iceburg and Monarch grew and bloomed late in the hall. The Alette s Giant Pentstemon was 
very much admired and took second place at tire Flower Show. Airs. J. Braun, Stillwater Co., Mont. 
Dear Air. Park: I must tell you how wonderful my Delphiniums were grown from your seeds., the firs 
were so large, and in fine big spikes. We can hardly wait to see if the plants survive the Winter: The Eureka 
Violet plants did not all come true, but I never saw so many flowers. I had the most beautiful Pansies, they 
were still blooming when snow came. Airs. F. D. Mack, Wabasha C o., Minn., Alarcli 5, 1934._ . 
New Charming Carmine 
Globe 
Verbena 
A good compact dwarf Verbena superior for 
beds has long been in demand and I am pleased 
to offer here a Splendid variety that “fills the 
bill.” The plants start readily, quickly come in¬ 
to bloom, and branch freely at the base forming 
a mass of leafy stems, each tipped with a huge 
cluster of bloom, color bright lusterous carmine, 
vivid and beautiful. The plants form a globe 
ten inches high and one foot across, dense and 
literally covered with bloom-clusters through¬ 
out the season. Often from 50 to 60 trusses open 
at one time. Nothing in the way of a bedding 
Verbena approaches the beauty and showiness 
of this elegant variety. But while so valuable 
for beds or borders, it is equally adapted for 
pot culture and is a charming window plant 
for Winter blooming as w-ell as for porch dec¬ 
oration in Summer. You should have this mag¬ 
nificent Verbena. Don’t omit it when ordering. 
40 seeds 5.cts.
