SEEDS OF FAR ADVANCED QUALITY AND OF HIGH VITALITY 
AVAILABLE EVERY MONTH OF THE YEAR. Connoisseurs’ Series seeds 
are harvested in October and November. When jproperly stored and re- 
frigerated, delphinium seeds will retain their vitality for more than two years. 
Seeds harvested in November of 1941 will give perfect germination in the 
spring and summer of 1942. Thus, perfectly viable Lyondel seeds are avail: 
able in every month of the year. Furthermore, no matter when he does his 
purchasing, a Lyondel customer is certain that he will have the delphinium of 
the future NOW. 
The Connoisseurs’ Series of seeds are offered under the same classification 
as the standard series, but will not be ready before the end of November. The 
price is the same as the standard series. The Lyondel policy has been the 
following: THE PRICE NEVER GOES UP OR DOWN; THE QUALITY 
NEVER GOES DOWN BUT ALWAYS UP. 
SEEDLINGS THAT ARE SOME SEEDLINGS 
In order toymeet a persistent demand for seedlings and to reach the small 
gardener who fnas place for only a few plants, or those who “simply have no 
seedlin September delivery. Another batch of seedlings from seeds 
sown 1 April, will be used for the spring trade. Please do not confuse these 

Mlants I am offering are grown-up, can be transplanted directly into the 
(1 where they will take care of themselves over winter, and will stand five 
and six feet tail the following summer. These are available in mixed colors 
only, and one dozen is the minimum number sold to anyone. For best results 
these seedlings should not be planted later than the middle of September, or 
earlier than the first of that month. 'These seedlings are not picked over, are 
not discards, but constitute the same quality stock that is used in my own 
planting. Price, $3.50 per dozen postpaid.

AMERICAN DELPHINIUM SOCIETY 
In order to keep abreast of the newest developments in the world of del- 
phinium join the American Delphinium Society, R. F. D. Hinsdale, Ill. Dues are 
two dollars a year. The Yearbook is worth several times the price of mem- 
bership. 
VISITORS 
Delphiniums are at their best here in Morgantown about the middle of 
June, but write for a more definite time before coming. The younger seed- 
lings will bloom in August and September. These are no longer planted at 
Terra Alta but much closer home along U. S. Route 119, eight miles from Mor- 
gantown. 
SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS 
Every year I receive a number of enquiries concerning lectures on del- 
phinium and other garden topics. In order to give a blanket answer in ad- 
vance, I wish to state that I will be open for a limited number of speaking 
engagements. The topics are delphinium culture, methods of plant breeding, 
plant nutrition and growth, and plant diseases. Terms are governed by the 
distance to be traveled.
