QUANTITY OF HAND POLLINATED SEED VERY LIMITED. 
Trial packet of any variety listed or of mixed varieties, $1.00. 
All plants listed are two years old. 
Collection of 12 mixed seedling plants, $2.00. 
PINK DELIGHT. NEW SHADE. Distinct. Self-color. Delicate pink mauve. 
There is no trace of blue in the 3V2-mch flowers, with their pale fawn centers. 
Tapering spike. Long, numerous laterals. Vigorous, sturdy plants. These are 
the progenitors of a new color range in delphiniums. Seed only. $5 per pkt. 
ALICE BLUE. A softer, duller shade of New 
Blue. Light and airy, giving iridescence and 
charm. A shade that is very popular for 
house and bridal decorations. Plants 50 cents 
each. Seed. 
AMETHYST. These are lovely; long perfect 
spikes, flat open double flowers, perfect 
placement, light and dark centers. Back of 
the amethyst petals is a row of blue ones. 
These are almost covered by the amethyst 
petals so that the effect is one of solid 
deep amethyst. Most aristocratic. You can 
see that this is one of my favorites. Plants 
$1.00 each, and seed. 
BLUE BATIK. A deep, medium blue double 
that has touches and shadings of orchid up¬ 
on it, all blended and mixed. It comes 
mostly with white centers but may have tan 
or dark ones. A lovely color and very pop¬ 
ular. Plants $1.00 each. Seed. 
BLUE LAKE. A deeper shade of vivid blue 
that I have tried so long to get and which 
has, at last, come to me. It still has orchid 
upon the upper petals but it is fainter and 
on some spikes does not occur. Eventually, 
I believe I can produce a straight Blue 
Lake double that will not have orchid. The 
1936 crop may hold some of these. Seed only. 
BURGUNDY. This is the dull wine color of 
burgundy. It is darker and deeper than 
amethyst but not quite so brilliant as royal 
purple. It is a very rich color; the stalks are 
stiff and tall; the flower spikes around four 
feet, the placement of flowers just right, the 
laterals long and lovely. Some of the ranun¬ 
culus type occur in this color, being very 
double, with an unusual fluffy center. 
Plants $1.00 each. Seed. 
CLARET. Light wine purple, very clear and 
rather a cold color. Very large flowered with 
long laterals. Anemone type of flowers. It is 
a new shade from the royal purple and has 
been crossed to bring some novelties. Seed 
only. 
COBALT BLUE. A deep, vivid, sparkling 
shade of blue, true to its name. It may have 
light or dark centers and is equally charm¬ 
ing in both. It has but the faintest touch 
of orchid and is visible in any garden a long 
way off. It is crossed with its own color 
and with other shades to give them its spar¬ 
kle and joy. Plants 50 cents each. Seed. 
CORNFLOWER BLUE. This is a cornflower 
blue double with petals that open very flat 
with the edges turning back a little. It gives 
a rare and lovely effect. Long spikes with 
long, very perfect laterals. The upper petals 
have some orchid. Some day I will have this 
blue without the orchid. I have a few plants 
of this now and offer some seed. I have 
tried for years to get this. Flowers almost 
three inches. Seed only. 
CRATER LAKE BLUE. This is the most 
vivid and loveliest shade of blue—the blue 
of Crater Lake at sunset. A white center 
and a tone of velvet upon the petals. Flowers 
two and a half inches. This color has great 
possibilities and I will not have enough seed 
to fill the demand. Seed only. 
DESERT TWILIGHT. This is a double, with 
dark centers only. It gives a solid effect of 
the most delicate mauve. It fades and glows 
and charms. Flowers over three inches, very 
long laterals, perfect placement, lovely cen¬ 
ters. One of the most beautiful Wheeler 
Croft Delphiniums. Plants $1.00 each. Seed. 
GENTIAN BLUE. This has occurred for the 
first time this year. A forty-three inch 
spike of flowers, long laterals, flowers two 
and seven-eighths inches across, of the deep¬ 
est Gentian blue, with touches of royal pur¬ 
ple. Seed only.
