variety in the now well-known King or Dodger 
type Larkspur, we have followed up with White 
King, Coral King and Pink Perfection. This season 
we are presenting a variety worthy in every re¬ 
spect to join its predecessors in this famous King 
type. Pink King is a lovely soft, yet vibrant, shade 
of salmon rose (625/2 d 625/1), the color so 
much in demand by the cut flower trade. The fully 
double, 2" florets are composed of rounded broad 
petals which are evenly and closely spaced on the stems, giving that well 
known heavy Hollyhock-like cutting spike characteristic of the King type. 
Cutting spikes will be 24" or more in length, the straight stiff stems coming from 
low on the plants which reach a height of 6 ^/ 2 '■ The basal branched character 
gives several fine spikes of bloom on each plant. Pink King is one of the earliest 
flowering of all Larkspurs, coming in with the Stock Flowered variety Rosamond.

In growing Larkspurs in the garden outside, bear in mind that they are cool 
weather plants and for best results seed should be sown in the fall. In warm 
sections, such as Southern California, they are sown as early as August and in 
cold climates, good results have been 
obtained by sowing the seed broad¬ 
cast in November in its permanent 
position in the garden where it will 
remain dormant until the ground 
warms in the spring and growth 
starts. If the winter is very severe, a 
light mulch covering should be ap¬ 
plied. As Larkspur seed thrives on a 
chilling, best germination can be ob¬ 
tained by this method. Pink King 
grown in this manner will be a reve¬ 
lation in beauty.
