GERMAIN'S GOLD MEDAL DELPHINIUM COLLECTION 
IMPROVED ENGLISH HYBRIDS 
Selections made from many excellent Del¬ 
phinium varieties recently imported from 
England have given rise to this improved 
strain of English Hybrids. They have 
proved exceedingly successful in Califor¬ 
nia and produce an abundance of flowers 
of great beauty. It is a strain we can 
heartily recommend, knowing that it can¬ 
not fail to give great general satisfaction.

arate shades which are offered below:

ple and blue.

ble flowering hybrids. The plants grow

light blue variety. It is a strong grower

quoise blue. Pkt. 20c. 
2825 Delphinium Belladonna (California 
Strain). No summertime visitor to Cali¬ 
fornia can fail to see this exquisite flow¬ 
er, for every flower store in Southern 
California displays huge baskets of it 
through the major part of the season. It 
is indeed the cut flower “par excellence” 
among Delphiniums. We have been told 
that our California strain of Belladonna 
is of a purer turquoise blue; it is un¬ 
doubtedly very lovely. The plant grows 
to a good height, blooms abundantly and 
is worthy of a place among the best ir 
every garden. Per packet 15c. 
2827 Delphinium Bellamosum. A deei 
royal blue variety. It is said to be i 
hybrid between the foregoing and For- 
mosum, but is perhaps a more vivid ant 
intense blue. It has the tall habit ant 
profuse growth of Belladonna and is th< 
finest of the dark blue sorts. Per T.acke

Germain's Choice Delphiniums 
NEW WHITE DELPHINIUM 
SUMMER CLOUD 
We have made a careful check of the 
various white delphiniums now in culti¬ 
vation. Our trials show conclusively that 
Delphinium Summer Cloud is far supe¬ 
rior to all other white varieties which 
have come to our attention. Summer 
Cloud is taller, reaching the same height 
as other hybrid delphiniums. Its spikes 
are from ten to twelve inches long and it 
comes nearly 100% true to color. 
With the present vogue for white flowers 
in the garden as well as for cutting, we 
recommend this new and stately delphin¬ 
ium as a very valuable novelty. 
Price: Per Packet 25c; 5 Packets 
for $1.00. 
NEW HOLLYHOCK STRAIN 
2829 This striking type is the result of 
several years of painstaking reselecting 
by a noted California Hybridizer. The 
flowers are large, fully double, well- 
placed on long, pyramidal spikes; their 
sturdy growth and general appearance 
reminding one of a Hollyhock, hence the 
name. The color range is most pleasing 
and we strongly recommend it to all who 
prefer the bright and lighter shades. Per 
packet 25c. 
GIANT DOUBLE DELPHINIUMS 
GERMAIN'S GIANT HYBRIDS 
After several years of careful field study and selection 
of the best strains of delphinium, we planted the group 
from which this seed was gatherd at our Van Nuys 
Nursery. 
We have given much attention to the color range, our 
selections of the Hollyhock and Wrexham hybrid strains 
being further augmented by the addition of named giant 
double varieties imported from England. To the usual 
shades of blue, purple and white have been added the 
lavenders, mauve and opalescent tones usually found 
only in the named sorts. All who saw these remarkable 
flowers exclaimed that they had never seen such Del¬ 
phiniums at any time anywhere. 
Price: Per Packet 35c; 3 Packets for $1.00. 
2823 Chinense Blue Butterfly. Bright 
navy blue, excellent cut flower. 
Price of the above 10c per packet.
