DELPHINIUM O 
Culture 3. Set out Sept. Normal germination, 20-35 days 
The Delphiniums are showy perennials. Very easy to 
cultivate and beautiful for borders. The foliage is dark green, 
much divided, throwing out to perfection the blossoms, which 
are terminal spikes of blue. Although hardy perennials, the 
plants will bloom the first Autumn if started early, and again 
the following Spring. All seed pods should be removed to en¬ 
courage new bloom. A good, deep, rich soil, with plenty of 
lime, will make large flowers. Seed sometimes germinates 
slowly and irregularly, and seed-bed should be placed where it 
may remain undisturbed for at least 6 months. Placing the 
seed in a refrigerator for from 24 to 48 hours, immediately 
before planting, always induces quicker and higher germination.
