Burpee’s Annual Larkspurs 
One of the most beautiful and desirable flowers for the garden and cutting. 

For Perennial Larkspurs, 
see Delphinium, page 82. 
Easily raised, quick growers, and very free 
‘flowering; produce a wealth of large, double blooms on long, attractive spikes. Even the deep green, finely divided foliage 
is pretty when plants are not yet in bloom. 
The culture of annual larkspur is quite easy. They do best 
in a sunny position, in rich, well-drained garden soil free 
from fresh manure. As they like cool weather in which’to 
germinate and to grow best, seed should be sown as early 
in the spring as the ground can be worked—the earlier, the 
better—but do not sow in cold, wet ground. We suggest 
sowing seed where plants are to bloom, as they sometimes 
resent being transplanted. When seedlings are large enough 
to handle, thin to stand 1 to 1% ft. apart. 
Giant Imperial 
Grow Upright Like Delphiniums 
Attractive flower-spikes, 3 to 4 ft. tall, which stand upright, 
* close to the center stalk—a decided improvement on older 
spreading types which took up too much space. Well- 
formed, large, double flowers in a wonderful range of colors. 
2121 Blue Bell Clear azure-blue or silvery lavender. 
2166 Dark Blue Spire Intense Oxford-blue; distinct. 
2165 Carmine King Deep carmine-rose. Brilliant. 
2126 Daintimess Delicate lavender, a soft, rich tone. 
2131 Dazzler Improved Deeper and brighter carmine- 
red than old Dazzler. Wonderful color; quite sunproof. 
2142 Glitters Scintillating salmon-cerise; the brightest 
of all larkspurs. Large, double flowers fill the spikes, the 
laterals coming into bloom at almost the same time as the 
main spike, which is quite unusual. Not so tall as others 
and more showy because of the many blooms. 
2267 Lady Lenore Stately spikes of soft salmon-pink. 
2167 Lilac Spire Improved Soft lilac, silvery sheen. 
2129 Los Angeles Improved Luminous salmon-rose. 
2157 White King Extra large, fully double, pure white 
flowers, closely placed on heavy spikes. Profuse bloomer.
