DELPHINIUM—Special Hand-Pollinated 
Seed. “Pacific" strain. The hand- 
pollinated seed is taken from selected 
crosses made personally by Mr. Reinelt 
and, judging from every trial we have 
made, and from the reports we have 
heard, will produce delphinium that 
are without question, the very finest. 
We have segregated the colors into 
groups and are offering 10 different 
shades, classing the self-colors with 
mostly white bees and the pastel com¬ 
binations with dark bees. The blues 
are approaching in size and clearness 
of color the ultimate standard in Del¬ 
phiniums of today.
