CHASTE WHITE DELPHINIUMS 
The New HOODACRES WHITES 
One of the loveliest flowers imaginable is a well grown White 
Delphinium. Its beautiful formation and glistening purity charm 
when other white flowers do not appeal, and even one spike 
introduced in a vase of others makes the high-light, so essential 
to a perfect picture. Upon the vigorous foundation stock of 
Hoodacres plantings has been bom a new race, called HOOD- 
ACRES WHITES, a revelation to the world and the dream of 
many come true; the most surprising Delphinium development 
of the century. 
After many years of skillful endeavor by the breeders of the 
world to produce a good semi-double White Delphinium, it 
remained for HOODACRES, in America, to bring forth this re¬ 
markable accomplishment. And it has been done with the few¬ 
est possible intermediate stages of development. The magnifi¬ 
cent spikes of purest white are carried as tall and on just as 
rugged plants as the ones with color. This will be observed in 
the photographs reproduced in this booklet. There are no dupli¬ 
cates of these WHITES anywhere in the world. 
Albinos of the past have been weak and of little worth. Quite 
as by magic these white creations came, leaving the hybridiz¬ 
ers puzzling as to how it was brought about. But the Unseen 
is a world of actuality and there all things first exist. All we can 
do is to co-operate in making the conditions on this plane 
suitable for the reception of such new things. 
Be wary of counterfeit "HOODACRES WHITE" Delphiniums. 
We can be in no way responsible for the character of seeds 
not grown and packeted here. 
ALL WHITE BUT TWO — ONE THE MARVEL OF NEIGHBORHOOD 
''Will begin by telling you what wonderful white Delphiniums I had 
from Pearl Necklace seed. All double but two, one with a large black bee 
and another a lovely single on the Wrexham type. One outstanding 
seedling grew about seven feet high with two feet of bloom, florets per¬ 
fectly spaced, double, and looked like Ship's Mast, shown in the slides. 
It was the marvel of the neighborhood and have taken pictures of this 
seedling. Perhaps it will interest you to know that all the seeds that ger¬ 
minated came white but two and they were a lovely blue. To say I am 
well pleased is putting it mildly."—Western Springs, Ill.
