Old time favorites as they are, there are few 
annuals in our gardens today to equal the 
Larkspurs’ usefulness and charm. The dou¬ 
ble stock-flowered strain here offered is a 
note-worthy improvement on the older forms. 
The plants are heavily branched, grow to a 
height of 3 feet or more and produce a con¬ 
tinuous succession of bloom from early sum¬ 
mer until fall. Invaluable for summer bed¬ 
ding and border planting, they are also one 
of the most dependable sources of cut flow¬ 
ers over a period of months. Sow in the 
open in early spring or fall.
