DELPHINIUM 
Perennial. The Delphinium, or Perennial Larkspur, 
as it is better known, with its long' clustered spikes 
of flowers, is especially valuable for supplying the 
garden with shades of blue. They frequently flower 
the first season. Start the seed indoors in March and 
transplant to the garden in April or May. 
Salzer’s Iceberg. Lovely, pure white flowers. The 
plants glow 4 to 5 feet high with very long spikes of

the famous English named sorts that frequently grow

such varieties as Joan, Lady Derby, Lord Lansdowne, 
Millicent Blackmore, etc.

Spikes of Giant Named,

most continuous bloomers. Clear turquoise-blue flowers. 3 feet high. 
1946—Pkt., 10c; Vs oz., 45c; 14 oz., 75c. 
Hollyhock Strain. Whether for garden 
decoration or for cut flowers, Salzer’s Hol¬ 
lyhock Strain stands supreme for size of 
bloom, length of spike and perfection of 
flower! The flowers are so large, so ruf¬ 
fled and so densely set, that the regal 
spikes resemble the pillared Hollyhock at 
its best, and they are almost as tall, fre¬ 
quently reaching a height of 4 to 6 feet. 
We have grown specimens where the 
individual florets measured four inches 
across! Salzer’s Hollyhock Strain pro¬ 
duces flowers in seven months after sow¬ 
ing the seed. Start the seed indoors in 
March and transplant to the garden in 
April or May, to have flowers in Septem¬ 
ber. We offer mixed seed only, containing 
both single and double flowers, all of the 
many blue shades, including violet, mauve, 
and purple, as well as containing interest¬ 
ing modifications in the “eye” of the flower.
