DELPHINIUM, Van’s Exquisite Super Giants 
SEED: Taken from plants whose PARENTS have been carefully 
selected and HAND POLLENIZE'D for from two to five generations. 
(To clarify this statement so it will not be misunderstood—this does 
not mean that this seed is direct result of hand pollenization, but the 
parents of the selected plants have been hand crossed as stated 
above.) 
This method of careful selection and hand crossing results in a 
very large percentage of remarkable show Delphiniums. Our test 
gardens show that you may expect over 75% double or semi-double 
flowers, instead of the very small percentage obtained from seed 
where previous generations have been open pollenized in the ordinary 
way. 
Naturally we selected only the very finest of sturdy plants with 
well formed spikes of good length and with very large well arranged 
florets. No expense or trouble has been spared to make this the 
finest strain possible. 
WHITE AND OPALESCENT PEARL SHADE'S: The whites 
are pure white of good substance, on excellent spikes. Florets 
measure from 2 1 / 4” to 2%” in diameter. Some are without bees, 
others with white, yellow, yellow fawn or black bees. Height, 4 to 
7 feet. 
The opalescent pearl shades are of a soft delicate lilac pearl 
shade, some tinted white. Seed of these will come mostly true to the 
parent color but you will get some thrills in other shades from this 
seed. Only a limited amount of this seed.

876 Small seedlings of the above for Spring delivery.

877. Large plants of the above guaranteed true to color and

PINK SHADES: While these flowers will not be a genuine red 
pink, you will get some flowers much pinker than the ordinary light 
mauve and orchid tones. This group has been selected from the 
best pinks for five generations. Height, 5 to 7 feet. Excellent spikes.
