DELPHINIUM PACIFIC GIANTS STRAIN (V. & R.) 
Although it has been on the market only a few years, this exceptionally 
fine strain of large flowered Delphinium needs no further introduction. Last year 
we obtained a select line of stock seed from the originator and are now able to 
offer new seed of the following colors from our own harvest. Please refer to
