Delphinium Gold Medal Hybrid 
Individual Bloom of Salzer’s Hollyhock Delphinium 
DELPHINIUM, HOLLYHOCK STRAIN 
The illustration of this wonderful new Wrexham 
Hollyhock Strain of Delphinium is just about the 
actual size of this giant-flowered new type, which 
is the greatest advance in present day Delphinii. 
The long, strong, graceful spikes of blooms of 
simply enormous size and beauty of form, combined 
with their hardiness and ability to winter through 
everywhere and to flower for several years, place 
Salzer’s Hollyhock Strain in the forefront as the 
finest acquisition to the present day family of 
Delphinium. Whether for garden decoration or 
for cut flowers, Salzer’s Hollyhock Strain stands 
alone for profuseness and size of bloom, length 
of spike, hardiness, and perfection of flower! 
We have grown specimens at Cliffwood Farms 
where the individual blooms measured four 
inches across. 
The flowers are so large, so ruffled and so densely 
set, that the regal spikes resemble the pillared 
Hollyhock at its best, and they are almost as tall, reach¬ 
ing a height of four to six feet. We offer mixed seed only, 
containing all the blue shades known to Delphinium, in¬ 
cluding lovely shades of violet, mauve, lilac, purple, etc., 
and with interesting modifications in the “eye” of the 
flower, the mixture containing both single and double 
flowers. The seed will produce handsome flowers in 
seven months after sowing. Start the seed indoors in 
March and transplant to the garden in April or May to 
have flowers in September. 1979—Pkt., 35c; 2 pkts.,
