DELPHINIUM 
VETTERLE AND REINELT PACIFIC STRAIN 
The modern delphinium is unsurpassed in beauty 
and charm, and the Pacific Strain is recognized by 
amateur and professional gardeners alike as one of 
the very best. This strain produces flowers of 
large size in very long spikes. The colors are 
very beautiful and include sha.des of lavender, 
lavender pastels, light violet blue, dark violet 
blue, light blue, medium blue, dark blue, blue 
violet, and white. These stately hybrid delphinium 
are the finest of all the perennials for the per¬ 
ennial and mixed borders and combine well with 
other f1owers. 
We much prefer distribution of young seed¬ 
lings, r a the r t ban one or two year old cl unrp s, b e - 
cause large clumps are often exhausted and it 
takes a season to get them re-established during 
which the flowers are not at their best. Young 
seedlings will produce show specimens in a few 
months and continue bloominm; for several years.
