INTRODUCTION 
Here is a real advance in Delphinium breeding from our own 
Research Department—the result of many years of hybridizing— 
the fruition of a dream and ambition to produce for this country a new class 
of Delphiniums certain to yield superb masses of blooms, true separate 
colors with all florets 100 per cent double. 
For the past several years, while this work has been quietly carried on, 
visitors to our experimental fields have been surprised and delighted to see 
an astonishing display of these gorgeous new varieties under cultivation, and 
to learn that they were hybridized in the rigid climate of northern New York 
State. Last summer there were over 300,000 plants blooming in our fields 
in Newark—a sight long to be remembered by those who chanced upon them. 
Until this year none of the plants of these remarkable new varieties have been 
offered for sale. Only now has our supply been propagated to a point where 
we are ready to accept orders. 
These New American Hybrids are available in five named varieties, each 
of a different color, as listed below. They will insure definite results for color 
and planting schemes in your garden. They are truly northern New York 
hardy, disease-resistant, uniform in growth, perennial in habit. Every floret 
is definitely double, on huge, ”all-out-at-once” spikes.
