HOODACRES ORIGINATING GARDENS 
Where the Tall Delphiniums Grow 
First home of the world's only double pure WHITE DELPHIN¬ 
IUMS and where other new plants burst forth from the unseen 
into earth life. Some of these are announced in this catalog and 
other introductions will follow. Many new colors and new forms 
are born here. 
★ ★ ★ 
I wish to thank those who have reported results on the plants 
or seeds from Hoodacres, and add that any help I am able to 
give on your plant problems will be cheerfully rendered. 
Unusual interest centers about HOODACRES WHITE varie¬ 
ties and the rare new shades made possible only through them. 
I shall appreciate any items from those growing them, as well 
as any interesting clippings relating to Delphiniums. 
HOODACRES is located directly on the famous Columbia 
River Highway, easy to reach from Portland. Take Sandy Boule¬ 
vard to Birdsdale Avenue and the large "Hoodacres Delphin¬ 
iums" sign on the corner. (Midway between Portland city limits 
and Troutdale.) The largest displays of Delphiniums in bloom 
are through June, September and October. Visitors always 
welcome. 
Flower catalogs in general assume the "poetic license" to 
embellish with exaggerations. We strive to make Hoodacres 
products better than the descriptions. Let us know if you think 
we have not succeeded.

A REQUEST — Should the person receiving this Delphinium 
booklet have no need for it, a double favor will be conferred 
by passing it on to someone who may be interested. 
HEARTBREAKINGLY BEAUTIFUL 
Cicero, Ill.: "About a year and a half ago we bought a packet of Pearl 
Necklace and one of Complete Range. The seeds germinated excellently 
and never in my life have I seen such heartbreakingly beautiful flowers. 
* * * All I can say is that we thank you from the bottom of our hearts 
for the joy and beauty each plant has brought us."
