PINK SENSATION 
Pink Sensation is truly the flower sensation of 1939. You have read 
about it in the magazines. Now you have the first opportunity to 
plant it in your own garden. Of course, you will plant it with loving 
care and watch each leaf as it unfolds. Early this spring, the first 
spike will shoot up. Then soon the buds will open and you will see 
for the first time, a truly Pink Delphinium. How you will admire 
and cherish it and call in your neighbors and friends to enthuse over 
it. It will be the talk of your entire neighborhood, perhaps even of 
the entire city for there are only a few thousand plants available this 
spring. We have just 5000 of these marvelous new plants and as we 
mail over half a million catalogs, we suggest that you order early. 
DELPHINIUM LA MARTINE 
This is not a new Delphinium, yet it is found in few gardens. It 
should be in every garden. We know of no other blue flower that is 
more beautiful. It makes a sturdy, vigorous, healthy plant five feet 
tall which blooms from June until frost. The flowers are a rich, deep 
blue with a pure white eye. We have seen spikes of these gorgeous 
flowers over two feet in length. Perfectly hardy, easy to grow and 
succeeds everywhere. Our price is so low that you can plant them 
freely and we assure you that nothing in your garden will give you 
more beauty and pleasure. Postpaid 
Each 25c; 5 for $1.00; 12 for $2.00 
When the American Delphinium Society met 
last August, the members saw this new plant 
and Mr. R. C. Allen, the secretary reported 
as follows—“ ... a chance to see the new epoch- 
making pink Delphinium, Pink Sensation, in 
fine condition. This is the first truly pink 
Delphinium to be released in this country and 
represents a new race called the Ruysi strain 
after its originator, B. Ruys of the Royal 
Moerheim Nursery of Holland.” 
The plant is very vigorous, mildew'-free and 
grows to a height of about 4 feet. It resembles 
the Belladonna type in appearance of the 
foliage and size of the individual blooms and as 
the spikes have many laterals, the display is 
much enhanced. The flowers appear in early 
June and repeat almost continuously until 
autumn. The flowers are light rose-pink, a color 
previously unknown in Delphinium. An ideal 
plant for border and cutting. The plants are 
hardy, having lived perfectly through winters 
in the United States, standing 20 below zero.
