PUDOR’S “WHITE WONDER” DELPHINIUM 
Pure White; Actual Size 3 Inches 
THE DAY OF REALLY GOOD PURE-WHITE DELPHINIUMS 
HAS ARRIVED 
PUDOR’S WHITE WONDER STRAIN—A NEW RACE OF DELPHINIUMS 
We are the fortunate possessor of a remarkable, tall pure-white semi-double 
delphinium, the grandsire of which was a seed from “Hoodacres” best white. 
After two years of careful selecting and re-selecting we are now growing seed¬ 
lings that come 80% true to color and type, pure-white and all semi-double. 
We will be able to offer seeds for sale from these particular plants the 
coming summer at $2.50 per pkt. (not this spring). If you paid five or ten dol¬ 
lars per pkt., you couldn’t get any better whites—at this stage of the white game. 
As mentioned above, there will be some other colors than white amongst the 
seedlings you will raise from our white seeds, but don’t scoff at these blues; 
more than likely some of them will show a remarkable break in blue delphiniums. 
Read on. 
A STORY ABOUT DELPHINIUMS Nos. 55 and 66 
Two extraordinary blue plants they are, indeed. Their parents was a white 
delphinium; the color of one is a pure “Mother of Pearl” color, the other one 
is an eerie blue, hard to describe—both exceedingly thrifty, healthy plants. From 
these two plants we raised about a thousand seedlings last year which thrived 
and bloomed amazingly. Every week they gave us new thrills and surprises. 
Many were in bloom the last week in October. 
The prize of the whole lot was a white one, the largest, purest white semi¬ 
double we have seen anywhere, over 3 inches in diameter. See the photograph, 
truly a wonder, “Pudor’s White Wonder.” 
But, there were many, many other fine double whites blooming among these 
seedlings of 55 and 66, the best of which we carefully selected and saved some 
seeds from. What this seed will bring forth, we cannot say; what percentage of 
whites or blues we do not know, but we are confident that they will produce 
some very fine whites and some remarkable new breaks in blues. We are offering 
a small lot of seeds for sale to interested parties at $1.00 per pkt. of about 200 
seeds. In ordering, please be particular to state “Your best white seeds from 
55/66 seedlings.” Continued Next Page
