Culture —Early sowings can be made during Winter and early Spring indoors, 
or in hotbeds. A January-February sowing will produce flowers the first season. 
A good seed soil is three parts clean garden loam, one part sweet leafmold and 
one part clean sand mixed well with a little charcoal {no chemical fertilizers) 
and screened fine. Sow the seed in shallow drills, never more than 34 inch deep, 
and fill them with clean sand. Never let the seed bed dry out. or become soggy; 
keep shaded and moist. When the seed breaks through, remove the shade, 
and when the seedlings have formed round leaves they should be transplanted. 
After June Is/, do not sow until early August, using New Crop Seed. See notes,

IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ! 
Old Delphinium seed is worthless. When one 
year old its germinating power weakens 
rapidly. 
We advise our customers to buy and sow the 
seed from January to May when a reasonable 
germination may be expected, and the de¬ 
sired varieties can be obtained. 
After June IV all orders will be held for the 
New Crop Seed. 
Usually ready for shipping out during the first 
week of August, in time for Summer sowing. 
However, we cannot be certain that we can 
supply all varieties at that date, in such an event, 
purchaser will be notified.
