DELPHINIUM SEEDS 
Seed count, 12,000 per ounce, Germination period about 20 days. 
Germination, laboratory test, 70% to 90% at harvest. As the 
months pass, however, until another crop is harvested, this per- 
centage will drop off. It is suggested that chilling these seeds for 
24 to 48 hours in an electric refrigerator before planting will 
usually give a better germination. 
Vatterle & Reinelt’s 
PACIFIC GIANTS 
We are convinced in our own minds that this group is the finest 
Delphiniums available today. They offer the best ratio of double 
flowering plants of exhibition quality of any seed stock with which 
we have had experience. The plants are mildew resistant to a very 
marked degree, making this stock suitable for culture in many gardens 
where Delphiniums have been unsuccessful in the past. 
The florets are very large, beautifully colored and born on stems 
that are long and willowy enough to support the large flower heads. 
Cut, they do not shatter easily, adding to their value as a cut flower. 
Florets are 24 to 34 inches across and closely spaced, 
Our present supply of these seeds is still quite complete although 
probably not adiquate to last until 1941 crop is received from the 
originator. New crop is expected to be available in limited quantity 
by early July and orders will be filled in strict rotation. 
1940 NOVELTIES 
CAMELIARD SERIES— A pure lavender self with white bee. Per- 
fectly formed florets and a well balanced spike. Fine habits. 
ROUND TABLE SERIES—- This group might be termed the Pedigre- 
ed Novelties of the Delphinium world. Nearly 300 different crosses 
were used in making up this group, combining all the newest 
color developments. These are invaluable for show purposes. 
1939 NOVELTIES 
BLACK KNIGHT SERIES— The darkest of all this group. Florets 
24 to 3’’ in diameter of perfectly round form and velvety texture. 
The color has a luminosity and vividness unusual in Delphiniums. 
A long and well formed spike of true show form. 
BLUE JAY SERIES— A true blue Delphinium as in other flowers 
has been an ideal seldom reached. This is a step—a very big step 
toward that ideal. Color is strikingly clear in shades from medium 
to dark blue. Bee is of darker color.
