One of the most beautiful and desirable 
Annuals for the garden and cutting. Easily 
raised, quick growers, and very free flower¬ 
ing; produce a wealth of large double blooms 
on long, attractive spikes. Even the deep 
beautiful. 
The culture of Annual Larkspur is quite easy. They do best in a sunny position, 
in rich, well-drained garden soil, free from fresh manure. As they like cool 
weather in which to germinate and to grow best, seed should be sown as soon as 
the frost is out of the ground. Do not sow in cold, wet ground, however. We 
suggest sowing seed where plants are to bloom, as they sometimes resent being 
transplanted. When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin tall varieties to 
stand 2 ft. apart, the dwarfer varieties, 1 ft. apart.
