Annually — THEN GROW THE BEAUTIFUL BELLA 
DONNA DELPHINIUMS AND SUCCEED! 
You want the beautiful blues in your garden, you want a graceful 
bushy plant that will provide you with lovely graceful cutting mate¬ 
rial for your house throughout the summer, plants that will live and 
thrive and are not too finicky, not growing out of bounds 6 to 8 feet 
tall, at the mercy of every windstorm, then, dear friend, grow the 
modern, beautiful BELLA DONNA HYBRIDS and don’t turn them 
down. They ALWAYS come true to color, both from seeds and 
seedlings, ALWAYS that HEAVENLY BLUE AZURE color, or a 
rich cobalt blue, without any other blue or mauve shades. A real 
“Delphinium Blue”. Easy to grow from seeds (never any failure) 
and easy to take care of in your garden afterwards. We offer seeds 
of the following sterling varieties: 
CLIVEDEN BEAUTY & FANNY STORMONTH are almost identi¬ 
cal. A clear azure blue. 1/16 oz. 40c; 2 pkts. 25c; per pkt. 15c.

delphinium. It comes about 90% true to color, about 10% being of a 
lighter shade. Per pkt. of about 50 seeds, 25c. All should germinate.

Your delphinium seed “Pedigreed” prize winner strain 
which I planted in my cold frame March 16th, 1935, came up 
almost 100%, and in such blooms and plants I have never seen 
before! One heavenly, deep blue with lavenderish overlay was 
7 feet 2 inches tall. Can you imagine such results from a tiny 
seed in one season? All of your seed were fine. With every¬ 
thing I plant myself my success has been wonderful—thanks 
to your seed. 
MRS. H. M. C. 
From one tiny seed of our “PEDIGREED” PRIZE WINNER DEL¬ 
PHINIUM STRAIN, planted in 1934, there developed inside of two 
years a plant, which carried this June, 1936, six of these magnificent 
flower stalks. 
Note, nearly the whole stalk is in full bloom at one time, only the 
very tip having a few unopened buds. 
Length of entire stalk 7 feet, of the flowering stalk, 3 feet. Size of 
each individual blossom (or pip) fully 2% inches, much larger than a 
silver dollar which is only 1!4 inches in diameter. 
The seeds from this plant will be mixed in with our PEDIGREED 
PRIZE WINNER: Per pack of 200 seeds $2; '/ 2 pack $1. 
IN A COMPETITION OF 340 EXHIBITS OF EXCEPTIONAL 
MERIT, PUDOR’S PRIZE WINNER DELPHINIUM 
STRAIN PROVE AGAIN BLUE RIBBON 
WINNERS. 
Just as we were going to press, we received the following 
letter under date of June 16th, 1936, from a St. Louis cus¬ 
tomer: 
“It may be of interest to you to know that DELPHINIUMS 
grown from SEED secured from your firm stole the Kirkwood 
Flower Show on May 30th. The Kirkwood Show is the best 
staged flower show in this community (Webster Groves, St. 
Louis), and the exhibits are always high class, so the writer is 
very proud of the honor which was shown us. 
“The plant from which the stalks were taken is two years 
old. We were given the BLUE RIBBON for the best of the 
species; the yellow ribbon for exceptional merit, and they 
were adjudged the best plants grown out of doors. When you 
consider that the competition consisted of 340 exhibits of ex¬ 
ceptional merit you can be justly proud of your Delphinium 
Strain.” J- W. K. 
Webster Groves, Mo., June 16, 1936.
