Hollyhock Strain of 
Delphinium 
DELPHINUM, HOLLYHOCK STRAIN 
The long, strong, graceful spikes of blooms of simply enormous size and beauty of 
form, combined with their hardiness and ability to winter through everywhere and 
to flower for several years, place Salzer’s Hollyhock Strain in the forefront as the 
finest acquisition to the present day family of Delphinium. Whether for garden 
decoration or for cut flowers, Salzer’s Hollyhock Strain stands alone for profuseness 
and size of bloom, length of spike, hardiness, and perfection of flower! We have 
grown specimens at Cliffwood Farms where the individual blooms measured four 
inches across. 
The flowers are so large, so ruffled and so densely set, that the regal spikes resem¬ 
ble the pillared Hollyhock at its best, and they are almost as tall, frequently reach¬ 
ing a height of four to six feet. We offer mixed seed only, containing all the blue 
shades known to Delphinium, including lovely shades of violet, mauve, lilac, purple, 
etc., and with interesting modifications in the “eye” of the flower, the mixture con¬ 
taining both single and double flowers. The seed will produce handsome flowers in 
seven months after sowing. Start the seed indoors in March and transplant to the 
garden in April or May to have flowers in September. 197!)—Pkt., 25c; 2 pkts., 45c;

DELPHINIUM (Perennial Larkspur) HP 
The Delphinium, or Perennial Larkspur, as it is better known, 
with its long clustered spikes of beautiful irregular flowers, often 
with long spurs, is especially valuable for supplying the garden with 
shades of blue. They frequently flower the first season.

in Delphinium. The plants grow 4 to 5 feet high with very long spikes 
of large, massive pure white blooms. Pkt., 35c; 2 pkts., 60c.

lighter shades of blue. Pkt., 15c; Vs oz., 40c; 14 70c.

I have shopped around in buying seeds, but after the success I had last year with Salzer’s Seeds, I feel that I cannot do 
other than to order them all from you.—Rev. Ralph E. Baker, Woden, Iowa.
