DELPHINIUM O 
Culture 3. Set out Sept. Normal germination, 20-35 days 
The Delphiniums are showy perennials. Very easy to 
cultivate and beautiful for borders. The foliage is dark 
green, much divided, throwing out to perfection the 
blossoms, which are terminal spikes of blue. Although 
hardy perennials, the plants will bloom the first Autumn 
if started early, and again the following Spring. All seed 
pods should be removed to encourage new bloom. A good, 
deep, rich soil will make large flowers. Seed sometimes 
germinates slowly and irreg^arly, and seed-bed should be 
placed where it may remain imdisturbed for at least 6 
months. 2-6 feet tall. Believed to have been discovered 
in Siberia, though is native throughout the North Tem¬ 
perate Zone.
