Larkspur Giant Imperial White King (Bodger) 
Special Mention 1937 All America Selections 
W HITE KING is without any question the finest Giant Imperial Larkspur 
developed since our 1930 introduction, Carmine King. The Lowers are a 
pure, glistening white and are of the characteristic Bodger Larkspur type, with 
rounded broad petals. The florets are extremely large and fully double, meas¬ 
uring as much as 2 inches across and are evenly and closely spaced on the 
stem. This gives a very heavy Hollyhock-like cutting spike from 24 to 30 inches 
long. The plants are tall, well over 5 feet under our conditions, and are of the 
true Giant Imperial basal branching type, as upright in habit as Carmine King. 
Furthermore, White King is very early blooming, coming into flower more than 
a week earlier than other Giant Imperial varieties, and about 5 days before 
Stock Flowered Rosamond. White King is without a doubt destined to become 
the outstanding White Larkspur of the decade.
