The Day of Really Good Pure-White Delfh 
Has Arrived 
iniums 
America's Well-Known and First Delphinium Hybridizer, COLONEL N. F. VANDERBILT of California, 
After Having Grown and Tested All Other White Strains, Says the Following: 
For long years I have tested each new “strain” of white Delphiniums as it appeared, including yours. 
I have missed a vigor and general plant balance desired, until present showing of your very fine “WHITE 
WONDER STRAIN” the past season; they fully satisfy me in comparison with all other whites tested. 
I believe I have tried them all. Yours are balanced plants and excel in vigor, resistance, spike-form and 
length, CLEAR WHITENESS and well formed centers, and much better size and texture than I have 
before seen. They ARE “Wonders”. 
Some of the growers seem still to be fooling along with the varietv called “Iceberg” for whites, which 
is very poor. YOURS STAND OUT AMONGST THEM NOW LIKE A FIR TREE TO A HAZEL BUSH.

once and a while mother of pearl colors.
