RID DELPHINIUM SEED 
NATED ONLY 
Seedling Plants, $ 2.50 
large flowers, long spikes, fine laterals, 
and much stronger growth. It has a tan 
center and is an almost indescribable blend¬ 
ing of soft deep blue tones, with faint 
touches of mauve. The 1938 crop ran about 
forty per cent true. 
PASTEL PINK. Cousin to Pink Delight but 
with much more orchid. Extra large flow¬ 
ers, rather short, strong spike, mostly light 
centered, double, and distinctive. It comes 
very true from seed. The growth is usually 
around five feet and seldom needs staking. 
ROYAL PURPLE. This is one of my most 
beautiful delphiniums, running fifty to 
seventy per cent true in the 1938 crop. 
Spikes around four feet, wide at the bot¬ 
tom, and tapering to a spire. They come in 
both light and dark centers, with almost 
perfect placement, long pedicels, with 
large, flat, widely opened flowers. Very 
double. A startling color. A stalk may have 
as many as twenty laterals, with flowers 
almost as large as those on the main spike. 
Vigorous growth with four to seven spikes 
per plant. Flowers from 3-314 inches. 
Clear, bright royal purple, one of the rich¬ 
est and most gorgeous colors in delphin¬ 
iums. 
SUMMER SKY. A clear azure blue double, 
the blue of the summer sky. Sparkling, 
beautiful, enchanting. White or fawn cen¬ 
ters. Flowers around 2^4 inches but of a 
charming perfection. Tough stems. 
SUNRISE. Double, blushing mauve upon 
azure back petals, long spikes, over four 
feet, 3 inch flowers, many laterals. Centers 
are light or dark gold, or fawn, widely 
opened, flat flowers. It is fascinating but 
does not fix easily in the seed, but does 
occur. 
VENETIAN NIGHTS. A deep brilliant blue, 
dark and lovely; sparkling white center. 
Double with only a little mauve. Very 
greatly improved and shows a much higher 
percentage true from the seed. The 1938 
crop brought some very fine ones and the 
1939 crop will be much better.
