SEEDS-of hoodacres delphiniums 
One of the most exacting operations at Hoodacres is the 
protection and collection of seeds from prepared specimen 
plants. Only such are used—we do not gather from the general 
planting. All seeds we send out are from the latest harvest 
season and therefore as fresh as possible. The new crop ready 
for distribution about August first. 
All Hoodacres seeds are from double flowers, unless other¬ 
wise stated, and their seedlings are notably free from the 
rogues, culls, which too often develop from over-praised stock. 
Our seeds bring pleasing surprises at every turn. 
COMPLETE RANGE of Shades and Forms. From finest indi¬ 
vidual plants. Not the ordinary "mixture" of left-overs. Into this 
class we are putting each year seeds of the newest things, some 
of which we have insufficient stock to offer separately. Nowhere 
in the world is there offered a mixed packet of Delphinium 
seeds so filled with new colors and highest quality. Liberal 
packet $ 1 . 00 . 
BOUNTY BLEND: A generous packet carefully chosen from 
field specimens, representing all colors. Not the "mixty-maxty" 
sort commonly put up. (This supplants our ALLTYPES packet 
as an improvement.) Pkt. 50c. 
BLUE BOY: As a splendid advance over Gentianet we have 
perfected the deep blue tones and now offer their seeds. They 
are well represented by the illustration, page 15. To get perfect 
blue in both front and back sepals is a real achievement, and 
these plants are splendid vigorous specimens, some growing to 
eight feet. The coloring may be described as bright gentian. 
Pkt. $2.00. 
CONSPICUA: Extraordinary centers, surprising contrasts. 
Some of these are deep blue or purple carrying extra large 
white centers; others are medium shades with immense jet 
black and all are beautiful. Seeds only, $2.00 pkt. 
REX OREGONUS: A class having broad tapering spikes, in 
the various color tones. A marked improvement over previous 
pyramidal forms. $2.00. 
ARE THEY GRAND? 
Paulding, Ohio: "I have 190 of your plants, three years old and. Oh, Boy! are 
they grand? Have them in my back yard; they were all about seven feet tall."
