Blue Spire Larkspur 
Hart & Vick’s An nual Larkspur 
This is one of the best-known of garden flowers, and in recent years a vast improvement 
has been effected by careful selection in size and color of the blossoms and the general habit 
of the plant. Seeds sown outdoors 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 planted in groups in the old- 
fashioned flower or shrubbery border. As a cut-flower they are particularly useful. 
Double Stock-flowered Larkspur 
A greatly improved variety of Annual Larkspur that branches out from the base and 
makes sturdy, upright stems 3 feet high on which are carried long, full spikes of very 
double flowers.
