GROW DELPHINIUMS 
For Plant Sales and Cut-Flowers 
Our years of experience as Nurserymen are of great value in the selection of the finest 
strains of Delphinium. You can benefit by that experience. Select your seed from this listing. 
Giant Pacific Strain (V. & R.) 
The Most Beautiful of Delphiniums 
The stems of this strain are wiry, strong 
enough to resist high winds, and while it is not 
100 per cent mildew resistant, mildew-resistant 
plants do predominate. 
Under good conditions your seedlings should 
produce beautifully proportioned spikes 3 to 
5 ft. in height. The individual flowers are large, 
2 to 3 in. in diameter, of beautiful shadings and 
of good form and substance. Our plants, which 
bloomed during the past summer, were almost 
100 per cent double flowering. We strongly rec¬ 
ommend the Giant Pacific strain both to the 
grower of plants to sell and the grower of flowers 
for cutting. 
We offer the following selections, all of the 
originator’s seed.

START DELPHINIUM SEED EARLY 
Delphinium seed started early in the 
greenhouse or in frames will give a good 
supply of cut-flowers in late summer and fall. 
It germinates best under cool conditions, 
another reason for sowing early. You can 
depend on good germination from our seed. 
Every lot is tested in soil under average 
conditions.
