LARKSPUR 
An Annual Supreme 
This annual enjoys a never-waning popu¬ 
larity. In borders, beds and wherever a lov¬ 
ely filler is desired we find larkspur being 
used. It is an annual delphinium very different 
from its perennial relatives. Indeed, it is de¬ 
lightfully informal and ane of the gayest af 
summer-blooming annuals. Florists realize its 
value as a cut flower. The new varieties of 
our modern larkspurs are very large and 
double with a superb color range.
