feet in height, and forming perfect globes of green, 
feathery branches, which turn red after frost. 
Anyone can grow this plant in almost any situa¬ 
tion, and we accordingly recommend it most 
highly. An annual hedge plant. 3 feet. Native 
both in Europe and United States.

LARKSPUR □ 
(Normal germination, 20-25 days) 
Larkspur or Annual Delphinium is of unsurpassed 
merit for massing in the border, as well as for 
cutting. Native to many parts of North Tem¬ 
perate Zone. Tall, upright, base-branching in 
habit, the Giant Imperials have passed all 
other types of Larkspur for florists’ and general 
garden use. The Delphinium-like spikes of double 
flowers, carried on stems 4-5 feet long, are com¬ 
pactly placed on upright growing plants, re¬ 
quiring only about half the space needed for the 
old Stock Flowered type. May be started either 
indoors or outside, but indoor starting improves 
the quality of the flowers.
