MISCELLANEOUS PERENNIALS-Continued 
DELPHINIUM 10,000 s. 
•GIANT PACIFIC HYBRIDS. The new Vetterle & Reinelt 
Giant Pacific Hybrid strains continue their top position in the 
commercial hybrid Delphinium world. Even the past summer— 
their third season—there was still a decided shortage of good 
plants. Supplies of fresh seed are still available in quantity 
with the exception of the new Lancelot Series that, as you 
will note, is sold out until next summer. Fine salable plants 
can still be produced from a January sowing for next sum¬ 
mer’s sales of all varieties. See novelty list, page 3, for 
further description.
