10 000 s. The new Vetterle & Reinelt Giant Pacific Hybrid strains continue their top 
position in the commercial hybrid Delphinium world. Even this summer—their third 
season_there is still a decided shortage of plants. Supplies of ’38 crop seed are still avail¬ 
able at this writing—for early sowing. New crop should be available first part of July. 
We were very successful this spring with a late summer sowing of Clear White benched in 
one of our cold houses in Novemter. Heat was turned on in February, and our Chicago 
market is paying fancy prices for every bunch we can ship thruout the month of May. We 
find them very free flowering under these conditions, long stiff stems with large double 
and semi-double flowers.
