Schell’s New Annual Larkspur, Giant Imperial 
“White King” 
Schell’s New Annual Larkspur 
GIAINT IMPERIAL “WHITE KING” 
Another Winner in the All-America Best New Flowers 
for 1937 
These new Giant Imperial Larkspurs of ours have outclassed 
all other types of Annual Larkspurs for florists’ and general 
garden use. The Delphinium-like spikes of double flowers, 
carried on stems 4 to 5 feet long, are pure, glistening white. The 
florets are extremely large and fully double, measuring as much 
as 2 inches across and closely and evenly spaced, with cutting 
spikes 2 to 2K feet long. Schell’s White King is, without 
doubt, destined to become the most outstanding white Larkspur 
of the decade. Pkt. 25 cts.; 3 pkts. 65 cts. 
Giant Imperial, Coral King. New. And a novel color never 
before seen in Larkspurs—blush-pink with a strong suffusion 
of coral which deepens and gets richer as the flowers mature. 
Pkt. 25 cts.; 3 pkts. 65 cts.

salmon. Pkt. 20 cts.; 3 pkts. 50 cts.

TALL DOUBLE STOCK-FLOWERED 
This is one of the finest annuals of the flower-garden. Vast 
improvement has been made in the past few years through 
expert selection, in size, beauty, and habit of plant. By sowing 
seed the last of April, when soil is warm, they will begin bloom¬ 
ing in July and continue until frost, a glorious array of brightest 
colors. The plants grow 3 feet high, and their graceful habit 
makes them exceedingly effective in beds, as borders, and for 
vasing. Be sure to order these.
