PUDOR’S DESCRIPTIVE SEED LIST 
A Lovely New Seedling from Our “MOTHER OF PEARL” 
Plant No. 66 as Parent. A beautiful all-cobalt blue. Note the 
fluted and ruffled flower petals. 
Now further interesting facts about the “Blues” from 55/66 seedlings. First, 
all of them were semi- and full-double, which in itself is remarkable, as usually 
the best blue parents will produce many single ones. The size and color of the 
blossoms were extraordinary—some of the finest things we have ever raised and 
we have certainly grown some very fine delphiniums, our own strain and all 
of the best English named varieties. Many individual blooms were over 3 inches 
in diameter, some were fluted, some frilled, some were aster-shaped, many 
hooded, many had beautiful prominent brown and black bees and all were re¬ 
markably sturdy and healthy specimens, free from mildew. Many of these small 
seedlings bloomed twice: in July and August and again in October; and note, two 
or three were almost pure pink, no blue in it, two white ones had a “red” petal 
in them and two were of that strange “Mother of Pearl” color like one of the 
parents. 
Now, here truly is a new race of delphiniums, a remarkable break. What the 
seeds from these seedlings will produce in the next generation or two no one 
can even guess, but surely something most interesting and novel, in fact the first 
generation of seedlings grown from these seeds are now blooming in our trial plat 
(October) and are showing some marvelous beauties and wonderful combinations 
of colors. We offer a fine mixture from the parent plants of these blue seedlings 
at $1.50 per pkt. of about 200 seeds. 1/16 oz. (three times as much) for $3.00. 
You will be thrilled with the seedlings which you will raise from these seeds. If 
sown by May first and well taken care of, transplanted as soon as big enough to 
handle they will bloom in September and October. ASK FOR SEED FROM THE 
BLUE 55/66 SEEDLINGS.
