|“\ HEELER CROFT delphinium are the 
^ / I I resi1 ^ °f ten years’ experimentation 
111 with this beautiful, variable and en¬ 
chanting’ flower—this gorgeous and 
generous beauty. Into their heredity went 
Wrexhams, Hoodacres, and the Blackmore 
and Langdon strains. The constant aim of 
the experimenter is to produce, by the most 
careful and scientific hand pollination, new¬ 
er delphinium, distinguished for quality and 
size of bloom, vigor of growth, long and 
numerous spikes, with flowers held on long 
individual stems, giving a more graceful 
appearance, and numerous long, perfect side 
spikes. This aim has met with success. Spikes 
run from two feet to forty-two inches of 
actual flowers; individual florets are two to 
three and one-quarter inches; laterals are 
long, perfectly developed and very numer¬ 
ous. The large, fine centers are a flower in 
themselves. The colors are most beautiful, 
the shadings and variations being countless. 
All Wheeler Croft delphinium are most rig¬ 
idly selected that none may be sold below 
the high standard set by the originator. 
There are hand pollinated seed which hold 
the most wonderful prizes, waiting for a 
hand to set them in the ground.
