Improved Larkspurs 
One of the most beautiful and desirable annuals for the garden and 
cutting. Easily raised, quick growers, and very free flowering; produce 
a wealth of large, double blooms on long, attractive spikes. Even the 
deep green, finely divided foliage is beautiful. 
The culture of Annual Larkspur is quite easy. They do best in 
sunny position, in rich, well-drained garden soil free from fresh 
manure. As they like cool weather in which to germinate and to 
grow best, seed should be sown as early in the spring as the ground 
can be worked—the earlier, the better, but do not sow in cold, wet 
ground. We suggest sowing seed where plants are to bloom, as 
they sometimes resent being transplanted. When seedlings are 
large enough to handle, thin Jo stand 1 to IK ft. apart.
