Flower Seeds 
LARKSPUR (Continued) 
An important cut-flower both for greenhouse and outdoor culture. Mod¬ 
erate temperature and a moist soil are necessary to obtain good germ¬ 
ination. Seed frequently failing to start at all in hot weather. 
The Base Branching class, also known as the Imperial or Spiral, im¬ 
proves the original Stock-flowered in being somewhat longer stemmed 
The Hyacinth-flowered type produces but one long non-branching flower 
spike. They do well on a raised or shallow bed where tjre growth can 
be hardened some, but on a deep ground bed, especially if gro^yn, cold, 
they produce hollow stems that break easily in handling. 
Three New and Valuable Introductions 
Larkspur Giant Imperial Cattleya. This is a late flowering, branching 
from the base habit (two to three weeks later than other sorts) 
which lengthens the flowering season. The color is a rich rosy lilac 
full double flowers that are closely spaced on four to five foot stems. 
Highly commended by the Royal Horticultural Society after trial 
■ at Wisley, England, 1934. Tr. Pkt.. . ,25c Oz...$1.25 V4 lb... .$3.50 
Larkspur Giant Imperial Dazzler is in full bloom seven to ten days 
earlier than any of the other varieties. The flowering spike is very 
long with closely spaced mammoth flowers of a vivid lustrous car¬ 
mine color. Dazzler will make an ideal florists' variety for earliness 
and its long flowered spike, also for the home gardener who loves 
grace and brilliancy. Tr. Pkt.. . .25c Oz.. . .$1.25 Vi lb... .$3.50 
Larkspur Giant Imperial Sweet Lavender. A delightful shade of rich 
lavender blue, the flowers are very large, full double, closely spaced 
on a long flowering truss. Sweet Lavender is an outstanding new 
shade of great merit. Highly commended by the Royal Horticultural 
Society after trial at Wisley, England, 1934.

Dixie Sunshine 
Annual Height: 3 ft. 
This is a late flowering Marigold, the seed of which should be 
started indoors in pots or boxes in localities north of Washington, 
D. C. As soon as the plants are large enough to handle, prick them 
off into other boxes allowing 2 in. between the plants. Set into the 
open when the nights have become balmy. Being of strong growth, 
the plants should be planted not closer than 2 ft. apart each way. 
Like other Marigolds, Dixie Sunshine delights in moderately rich 
soil, neither too wet nor too dry, and in a location where the plants 
receive sunshine all day. South of Washington, D. C., the seed may 
also be sown right into the open when the soil can be worked 
properly in the spring. Tr. Pkt.25c Vi oz.60c Oz... $2.00
