The largest spikes from Vetterle-Reinelt 
seed are well over four inches in diameter, 
yet they retain a graceful and balanced ap¬ 
pearance, and are most attractive in color. 
The plants are tall, the spikes full-bloom¬ 
ing, and the individual florets range up to 
2 inches in diameter. 
Three consecutive California Blue Ribbons 
have been awarded this strain—for it was 
the best exhibit of delphinium at the Cali¬ 
fornia State Fair and the California Flower 
Festival in 1934, and then at the California 
Spring Flower Show in 1935. 
Plant as early as possible to assure a com¬ 
plete flowering the first blooming season, 
although planting even as late as November 
will give a good percentage of bloom the first 
season.

GODETIA, Sybil Sherwood—New in color and 
habit. Sybil Sherwood sets a new standard 
as a garden godetia. Miss Elizabeth Bodger, 
hybridist for Bodger Seeds, Ltd., enthuses as 
follows: “To my mind, Sybil Sherwood has 
the finest color of any flower on the market, 
barring none."’ The color is soft salmon pink, 
edged white, while the candelabrum-branch¬ 
ing spaces the flower most attractively—a 
complete break from the ordinary bunch 
blooming growth of the single-flowering 
godetias. Most graceful when cut and blooms 
keep unusually well.25c pkt.

lightful dwarf evergreen perennial, three to 
six inches tall. Spreading, dense, matty

We are fortunate enough to secure exclu¬ 
sive sale of the seed from Sydney B. Mitch¬ 
ell’s own garden. His stock was obtained 
from John Nicholls of Scotland, and W. M. 
Christy of England, who, between them, 
raised most of the named forms given awards 
at the R. H. S. trial gardens at Wisley, Eng¬ 
land. In mixed colors.35c pkt. 
ICELAND POPPIES (Nuclicaule ). You who 
are in the habit of visiting the beautiful 
Santa Maria Inn half-way between San 
Francisco and Los Angeles are no doubt fa¬ 
miliar with the remarkable strains of these 
most effective cut-flowers developed by 
Frank J. McCoy, manager of the Inn. Mr. 
McCoy has built an international reputation 
for the Inn by filling it with exquisitely ar¬ 
ranged bouquets of the most gorgeous flow¬ 
ers obtainable. Most of these blooms he 
grows himself, and Iceland poppies have 
been his particular hobby. He has scoured 
the world for seeds, and has selected and 
re-selected until he has developed a strain 
that is unquestionably the finest in America 
and probably unexcelled anywhere. 
Iceland poppies, like gladiolus, may be 
planted in succession. Bloom approximately
