DELPHINIUM (Vetterle and Reinelt 
“Pacific” Strain). P. Each time we see 
Frank Reinelt’s handiwork and compare 
it to the products of other delphinium 
experts, we feel like pausing to “take 
our hat off” to Mr. Reinelt, who is rap¬ 
idly earning a place as one of tbe 
world’s most remarkable flower hy¬ 
bridists. 
Two years ago, we had the pleasure 
of being the exclusive introducer of. 
this sensational strain, and can report 
that our sales have increased tremen¬ 
dously since it has been possible to 
compare the spikes with those of other 
hybridists. Typical of the results ob¬ 
tained is the following unsolicited quo¬ 
tation, “I am sending you a spike of 
delphinium which I thought was extra 
good. It’s from your 50c packet of 
seed. I’ve had different people tell me 
that they have never seen a delphinium 
so large, and the plant is only one year 
old. I think your seed is wonderful.” 
The largest spikes from Pacific del¬ 
phinium seed are well over four inches 
in diameter, yet they retain a graceful 
and balanced appearance, and are most 
attractive in color. The plants are 
tall, the spikes full-blooming, and the 
individual florets range up to 2 inches 
in diameter. 
Three consecutive California Blue 
Ribbons have been awarded this strain 
—for it was the best exhibit of del¬ 
phinium at the California State Fair 
and the California Flower Festival in 
1934, and then at the California Spring 
Flower Show in 1935.

GILIA FAIRY STARS (Jewel Flower). 
An unusually beautiful little plant that 
is admirable for borders or rock gar¬ 
dens. Star-like blooms as small as wild 
violets and just as dainty. Colors run 
the full range of the autumn and pas¬ 
tel colors as rose, pink, orange, yellow, 
cerise and cream. Better, we believe, 
than either Virginia Stocks or Linaria 
Fairy Bouquet.pkt. 25c; *4 oz. 50c

ideally where the climate is cool. The 
three varieties we list are all strikingly 
better and decidedly different from the 
ordinary varieties.

all the advantages of habit that char¬ 
acterized “Wild Rose”, but a much more 
intense color, as indicated by its name. 
Dwarf growing, literally covered with 
blooms—ideal for border or solid mass 
plantings. 12 inches tall. New this 
season.pkt. 25c
