Burgess’ Choice Larkspurs 
(Annual Delphinium) 
The Larkspur (Annual Delphinium) Is among the best known garden 
flowers, and in recent years a vast improvement has been effected by care¬ 
ful selection in size and color of the blossoms and the general habit of the 
plant. Seed sown in the open ground before the close of April will produce 
flowering plants by the beginning of July, and give a continuous succession of flowers from 
then until frost, a record that is not surpassed by any other annual. They make handsome 
beds, and their free, graceful habit and bright colors are very effective when interspersed 
in the flower or shrubbery border. They keep well when cut, and a vase of one or mixed 
colors is indeed charming.
