Delphinium 
One of the easiest of all perennials to 
grow. They give a wealth of bloom to 
the garden during June and July and 
again in September. They like a loose- 
textured sweet soil with plenty of well 
rotted barnyard manure. Fine plants 
depend upon sun and good circulation 
of air. Mature plants should stand at 
least 2 feet apart. After blooming, cut 
the stems to about 2 inches above 
ground level, using care not to damage 
the new growth which has already 
started. It is this second growth which 
produces the Fall bloom. 
Wrexham Varieties. This strain is 
very highly hybridized and will 
produce enormous tapering spikes 
with individual flowers often 2J4 
inches across. Our e.xperience has 
been that the named varieties do 
not come more than 10% true to 
name. For this reason, we offer 
the seed to color only.
