GIANT HOPSRIAL IiARKSFURS 
—This strain represents the most marked 
advance in improving larkspurs, both in the 
fullness of the flower spikes; the size of the 
flower and in the shades of color. The branch¬ 
ing habit has been intensified, giving a 
greater number of branches to each plant, 
each branch producing a solid mass of color. 
The 3 to 4 foot flower spikes render them 
ideal for cut flowers that keep for a long 
time.
