'WINGS OF JOY (Christ). Giant light pink. Up to ten 5-incli flowers open. At its best, 
this is one of the very finest of exhibition varieties but it is a somewhat fickle per¬ 
former. Crooks at times ancl does not always do well during warm weather. Increases 
rapidly. L. 40c each, 10 for $3.20; M. 30c each, 10 for $2.40; S. 15c each, 10 for $1.20; 
Bits. 100 for $3.00. 
WYUNA (Errey). Lavender and white. Five or six 3^4-inch flowers open. A dainty cut 
flower Glad. L. 30c each; M. 20c each; S. 10c each; Bits. 10 for 25c. 
YELLOW EMPEROR (Ellis). Clear light yellow of much the same form as Yellow Per¬ 
fection. A very fine new yellow that promises to be a splendid commercial variety 
and a good exhibition sort as well. Rapid propagator. L. 30c each; M. 20c each; 
S. 10c each; Bits. 10 for 15c. 
ZAUBERIN (Pf.) Medium yellow ruffled. Early blooming. Six 4^-inch flowers open on 
a medium tall spike. Personally I like this much better than Gate of Heaven but it 
may not be as good everywhere. This I bought from Pfitzer and I believe is true to 
name. See the next variety. L. 50c each; M. 30c each; S. 20c each; Bits. 10 for 40c. 
ZAUBERIN (Pf.) Orange red with yellow throat. This was obtained from Australia as 
a Pfitzer variety. About eight 4V£-inch flowers open. Facing not always perfect but 
a good variety. Early bloomer and very showy in color. L. 50c each; M. 30c each; 
S. 20c each; Bits. 10 for 40c. 
ZILLAH (Hornberger, introducer). Tall light yellow. Six 5-inch flowers open. A strong 
growing yellow that would be among the leaders but for the small pr’nk feather on the 
lower petals. When well grown this is very large and impressive. L. 35c each; 
M. 20c each; S. 10c each; Bits. 10 for 30c. 
In the descriptions given above it will be noted that the name of Pfitzer has been 
abbreviated (Pf.) due to the large number of his originations listed. Other originators’ 
names are spelled out. In describing varieties, I have in many cases drawn on my 
memory rather than on field notes. The size of many of the flowers was estimated rather 
than actually measured but I endeavored to be conservative in estimates. Many, if not 
most, of the varieties listed will undoubtedly grow larger in a garden with good culture. 
A number of varieties I grow are not listed. Some were not considered worthy, some 
are new sorts of which I have but a few bulbs and a number are new sorts not yet 
released. I expect to discontinue most of the older varieties listed here next year. 
DELPHINIUMS 
For your borders it would be difficult to find a more beautiful subject than a 
planting of moderen Delphiniums. Their majestic spires of blue, mauve, lilac, lavender, 
violet, purple, and white make a picture not easily forgotten. And viewed more in¬ 
timately they lose nothing by close scrutiny, but rather gain in their resplendent beauty. 
Surely no other flower surpasses them in loveliness, brilliance, and purity of color. 
Their iridescent splendour radiates with a grandeur that none but an omnipotent 
Creator might bestow. In addition to the seed offered below, I can supply a few packets 
of field pollenized seed at 50 cents per packet but these will not give the results of hand- 
pollenized seed. Do not write for plants this year. Possibly I may list them another season. 
From my 1935 crop of seed. I still have a limited supply of hand pollenized Del¬ 
phinium seed. While I do not claim to have the best Delphiniums in the world, I believe 
that the hand-pollenized seed I offer will give better results than other seed not hand 
pollenized, even though saved from extra fine plants. I can supply either white Delplis 
(the Hoodacre Strain) or colored varieties at $1.50 per packet of about 150 seeds. The 
illustration shows a few individual florets and indicates in a small measure the variety 
of types of flowers one may expect from a quantity of plants grown from good seed. 
Individual flowers average from 2 \4 to 3 inches or more in diameter and spikes have up 
to 4 feet of blooms and buds. Dark shades somewhat predominate in my crosses this year.
