YOUNG SEEDLINGS OF HARDY PERENNIALS 
For Early Fall Planting. Ready from SEPTEMBER ON. 
NO PLANT ORDERS ARE SOLICITED FOR 
LESS THAN ONE DOLLAR 
We sell annually many thousands of BABY SEEDLINGS to 
our customers, who dislike or are not successful with seeds. 
These seedlings are grown from our VERY BEST SEEDS. 
They are grown in the open field, assuring vigor and health and 
by early fall have made such a growth that the following year 
they will grow into large blooming clumps—a joy in your garden 
at a very small outlay of money. 
In extremely cold climates (New England and Canada) plant 
them closely in a cold frame and after freezing weather sets in 
and the leaves have died down give them the usual winter pro¬ 
tection. 
In the Middle West and Southern states plant them right out¬ 
side, either temporarily close together, or in the garden where 
you want them to grow next year, and during the winter give 
them the necessary light cover (or none at all, as they are per¬ 
fectly hardy). When spring arrives, plant them in the garden 1 
to 2 feet apart, according to the variety, and the next spring or 
summer they will be a joy. 
These seedlings will ship safely anywhere; we send them by 
parcel post carefully packed in damp moss delivered at your 
door; they will ship as well in the early spring (not later than 
April) as this fall. If wanted by “SPECIAL HANDLING”, which 
means first class and QUICKER delivery, please be sure and add 
10c postage up to 3 dozen and 15c over 3 dozen seedlings. 
PLEASE DO NOT ORDER LESS THAN 1 DOZEN SEED¬ 
LINGS of any one variety or plants—it means too much trouble 
and extra expense in handling. The seedlings are so cheap that 
you can well afford to buy a dozen of one kind, and if too many 
you can divide with a neighbor. 
BELLA DONNA SPECIES. These do not grow as tall as the 
hybrids, are easier grown and are more suitable for cut 
flowers. We offer the following varieties: 
PUDOR’S SAPPHIRE. A beautiful, brilliant, clear sapphire blue; 
large blossoms. Seedlings will come 90 per cent true. 60c per 
doz. Larger plants 15c and 25c each; $1.50 and $2.50 per doz. 
BELLA DONNA BELLAMOSUM. Handsome dark blue with 
white center; beautiful spikes for cutting. 50c per doz.; 3 doz. 
for $1.25, postpaid. Special handling 10c extra. Larger plants, 
15c and 25c each; $1.50 and $2.50 per doz., postpaid. 
1-YEAR-OLD DELPHINIUM CLUMPS 
Already bloomed in 1939 
To obtain best results from delphiniums in your garden, a 
supply of young, strong plants should be kept up which flower 
much more profusely than 2 or 3-year-old clumps which have 
been divided and transplanted. We do not advise any more the 
purchase and planting of 2 and 3-year-old clumps. 
MIXED PRIZE WINNER DELPHINIUM PLANTS. Grown 
from our best pedigreed seeds. Small field grown plants that 
will make large clumps next spring at $2.50 per doz.; $1.50 
for 6, postpaid. No less sold. 10c extra for Special Handling. 
Choice selected plants of same size and age, $1.00 each. Plant 
them in September in cold climates; October in the south. 
Later plantings are liable to get winter killed for which we 
are not responsible. Next February and March are also good 
planting months, but April planting for Delphiniums is taboo; 
after March 15th they are too much advanced for safe trans¬ 
planting and shipping. 
No plant orders are solicited for less than one dollar, un¬ 
less you add 25c extra for handling charges and postage. 
DELPHINIUM SEEDLINGS 
PUDOR’S PRIZE WINNER STRAIN. 85c per doz.; 3 doz. for 
$2.25, postpaid. Special handling 10c extra. Advanced Seedlings 
of this strain, $1.50 per doz., postpaid. Special handling 10c 
extra. 
We are in a position this season to offer seedlings from our 
famous No. 55/66 strain, described under seeds, which pro¬ 
duces some very uncommon and wonderful colors, the largest 
double flowers. 
ASK FOR 55/66 SEEDLINGS. Same price as for the Prize 
Winner strain. 
WHITE DELPHINIUM SEEDLINGS. From a choice selection 
of our best WHITES. $1.00 per doz.; 3 dozen for $2.50, post¬ 
paid. You will get some magnificent whites that might be 
worth from a dollar to five dollars a clump when blooming. 
Notice—these whites do not breed true as yet; you will prob¬ 
ably get a few blues but these will be outstanding and if you 
are lucky you might get one of those strange and beautiful 
mother-of-pearl colors. 
A Collection from Eight Superfine Named English 
Delphiniums. All are Prize Winners and the 
Finest England Has. 
We have sown a mixture of these outstanding English 
Delphiniums: Lady Eleanor, Cambria, Mrs. Newton Lees, 
Sir Neville Pearson, Welsh Boy, A. J. Moir, Isla, and the 
lovely Nora Ferguson (the latter an old variety). We offer 
strong Seedlings from this mixture at 15c each; not less 
than 10 sold (we will include 2 extra), postage paid; if sent 
by Special Handling 10c extra. No reductions by the 100 
and no discount to the trade. If express shipment is de¬ 
sired (charges collect) we will allow you for the postage to 
your town, which we would save. 
For a more detailed description of the above 8 varieties, 
please, refer to the Seed Section on page 5, where we offer 
also the seeds of these varieties. 
The above collection is not quite the same which we 
offered last fall; it contains 4 new super delphiniums and 
the lovely Nora Ferguson. 
CALIFORNIA PACIFIC STRAIN. From mixture of the best 
seeds. All colors except white. Baby Seedlings from Septem¬ 
ber on, 85c per doz. Larger advanced seedlings $1.50 per doz.; 
14 doz. 85c, postpaid. Special handling 10c extra. 
OUR GUARANTEE: We will send you good, strong, 
healthy plants but should you lose any during the winter, 
we cannot and will not replace them next spring. Nearly 
all of the original varieties in collection listed at left in 
box sell for $2.50 to $5.00 each. Please, bear in mind that 
seedlings of any delphinium hybrid will almost certainly 
vary; some should equal the parents (they could hardly 
excel them) and none are likely to be even mediocre.
