Larkspurs win the admiration of ail who grow them. With their finely 
cut foliage and tall, graceful spikes of double blossoms in a wealth of 
delightful colors, they provide beautiful, stately backgrounds for mixed 
borders. Also wonderful for massing in large beds. Furnish striking and 
charming material for cutting. 
Culture. Sow seeds preferably before February 15, where plants are 
to bloom, and thin to 6 inches apart for the Dwarf Hyacinth-flowered type, 
and 12 inches apart for the Branching type. Have your beds deeply worked 
and well drained, as Larkspurs dislike a continuously wet and acid soil.
