DELPHINIUM, PACIFIC HYBRIDS 
DELPHINIUM (Del-fin'-i-um) —Larkspur 
Nothing surpasses the Delphinium for usefulness in the 
border. If stalks are cut clear TO THE GROUND before 
going to seed they will continue to bloom all season. 
Plant in full sun and fertilize heavily for best results. 
Concord —A most brilliant Gentian blue having a white bee 
striped with bright purple. A very fragrant grape- 
scented flower. We have grown this English hybrid for 
a number of years but there is occasionally a year that 
the fragrance is missing for some unexplainable reason. 
However, it is worth growing for the flowers with or 
without the lovely grape-scent. $1.75 each 
Royal Spray —A distinct variation of type that has met 
with widespread approval since we introduced it three 
years ago. A truly fine double bi-color of deep cobalt 
blue and rich violet-purple. It attains a height of about 
6' with straight sturdy stalks. At this point, however, 
it puts all delphinium precedent aside and instead of 
forming the conventional stiff flower spike, this plant 
twists and curls outward and down, literally spraying its 
beautiful star-like blooms in a mad cascade. The indi¬ 
vidual florets do not have the usual crowded effect but 
are set on separate little stems giving the whole blossom 
head a dainty and lace-like effect. A single spike of 
Royal Spray is a whole bouquet and several in a large 
display of other sorts, lightens the stiff effect unbe¬ 
lievably. A strong and vigorous grower which seems 
immune to disease with us. It has proven perfectly hardy 
in our rigorous climate. $3.50 each
