Improved Larkspurs 
Attractive flower spikes, 3 to 4 ft. tall, which stand upright, close 
to the center stalk—a decided improvement on older types. Well- 
formed, large, double flowers in a wonderful range of colors. 
2142 Glitters (New) Scintillating salmon-cerise; the brightest of all 
larkspurs. Large, double flowers fill the spikes, the laterals coming into 
bloom at almost the same time as the main spike, which is quite unusual. 
Not so tall as others and more showy. Pkt. 250 ; 2 pkts. 450; 5 pkts. $1.00. 
2131 Dazzler Improved (New) Deeper and brighter carmine-red 
than old Dazzler. Very showy. Pkt. 150; % oz. 350; Vi oz. 600. 
2121 Blue Bell Clear azure-blue; lovely and desirable shade. 
2166 Dark Blue Spire Intense Oxford-blue; most attractive. 
2165 Carmine King Deep carmine-rose; always attracts. 
2126 Daintiness Delicate lavender, a soft but rich tone. 
2267 Lady Lenore Stately spikes of soft salmon-pink flowers. 
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 pretty. 
The culture of annual larkspur is quite easy. They do best in a 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 some¬ 
times resent being transplanted. When seedlings are large enough 
to handle, thin to stand 1 to 1 y 2 ft. apart.
