America's Well-Known and First Delphinium Hybridizer, COLONEL N. F. VANDERBILT of California, 
After Haying Grown and Tested All Other White Strains, Says the Following: 
For long years I have tested each new “strain” of white Delphiniums as it appeared, including yours. 
I have missed a vigor and general plant balance desired, until present showing of your very fine “WHITE 
WONDER STRAIN” the past season; they fully satisfy me in comparison with all other whites tested. 
I believe I have tried them all. Yours are balanced plants and excel in vigor, resistance, spike-form and 
length, CLEAR WHITENESS and well formed centers, and much better size and texture than I have 
before seen. They ARE “Wonders”. 
Some of the growers seem still to be fooling along with the variety called “Iceberg” for whites, which 
is very poor. YOURS STAND OUT AMONGST THEM NOW LIKE A FIR TREE TO A HAZEL BUSH.

PUDOR'S WHITE WONDER DELPHINIUMS 
(See Photograph) 
We gave this seedling plant, discovered in our field in 1933 among 
a lot of white seedlings, the appropriate name of “WHITE WON¬ 
DER” which undoubtedly it is: A WONDER! Only a very small 
quantity of seed is available from these plants this summer, some 
already contracted for. The color is a pure, clear glistening white, 
the habit of the plant, six feet tall, vigorous and strong. 
We have now propagated a number of plants from the ORIGINAL 
and with good weather conditions the coming summer, seed will be 
more plentiful, the price consequently less. 
We have no seed left this Spring from last year, except for our 
own sowing; last season we had to turn down many orders for seeds 
and have already much seed contracted for. The price this coming 
summer will be $2 per pkt. of approx. 200 seeds (not counted) in¬ 
stead of $3. One-half pkt. $1, but we do not recommend the smaller 
sized packet. Seeds will not germinate as well as from the blues 
and this variety produces quite a few blues, so if you buy only a 
half packet, and have bad luck with germination and with the blues 
you will get, you might be dissatisfied with the results, but sowing 
more seeds your chances for getting a number of gorgeous whites 
are much better. We have grown some stunning BLUES from the 
White Wonder and if you get some plants as fine as our WHITE 
WONDER or even better, you have the finest white delphiniums in 
the world. 
We made a large sowing of seeds last fall from our WHITE 
WONDER plants and have now a splendid lot of seedlings coming 
on. If nothing will have happened to them during the winter, we 
will have many seedlings in bloom the coming summer and will tell 
Belmont, Idaho, Sept. 27, 1937. 
Gentlemen: I wish you could have seen the delphinium 
blooms and plants that I raised from your white seed. They 
were glorious, blooms that a silver dollar wouldn’t begin to 
cover, and glistening pure white like they were -covered with 
frost. There were two wonderful blue plants among them, too. 
MRS. I. H. S. 
you about them in our summer catalog. We will make another sow¬ 
ing in March or April 1st. These will also bloom in the late summer, 
but perhaps too late for making a report in the summer catalog, 
which is mailed out July 1st. 
In another year we will offer some of the original plants for sale.
