center and is an almost indescribable blend¬ 
ing' of soft dee]) bine tones, with faint 
touches of manve. The 1938 crop ran about 
forty ])er cent true. 
PASTEL PINK. Cousin to Pink Delight bnt 
v/ith nincli more orchid. Extra large flow¬ 
ers, rather short, strong spike, mostly light 
centered, double, and distinctive. It comes 
very trne from seed. The growth is nsnally 
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 cro]). 
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 ])lacenient, long ])edicels, with 
large, flat, widely opened flowers. Very 
double. A startling color. A stalk mav 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 3-3V) 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. S|)arkling. 
beautiful, enchanting. White or fawn cen¬ 
ters. Flowers around 2^2 inches but of a 
charming ])erfection. 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 
o])ened, flat flowers. It is fascinating bnt 
does not fix easily in the seed, but does 
occur. 
VENETIAN NIGHTS. A deep brilliant blue, 
dark and lovely; sparkling white center. 
Double with onlv a little mauve. Verv 
greatly improved and shows a much higher 
l)ercentage true from the seed. The 1938 
crop brought some very fine ones and the 
1939 cro]) will be much better.
