DELPHINIUM, Perennial Larkspur (p) 
Pacific Strain 
Delphinium is the tallest and stateliest of 
all garden flowers. The Pacific Strain de- 
veloped by Frank Reinelt produces most 
perfect, well-balanced spikes, 4 to 8 ft. high. 
The individual florets 2” to 3” across, al- 
most all double and never coarse. This 
strain is particularly mildew resistant. For 
best germination, seeds should be put in 
the refrigerator for a week and started with 
bottom heat and cool overhead tempera- 
ture. In hot weather the germination and 
growth are very poor. Plants should be in 
full sun and in rich, well-drained soil. All 
our seed comes from the originator of this 
strain.

quent feeding induces giant blooms. The

Pansy “Best-by-Test” Strain. Several years 
ago we carried on a very thorough test 
of pansy seed which we acquired from 
various pansy growers and selected for 
listing a strain that seemed to us to be 
the best. Each year since we have con- 
tinued these tests. In addition to this we 
visited many seed farms where we saw 
various strains growing. As a result we 
again offer our first choice as our “Best- 
by-Test” Pansy strain. The blooms are 
very large and of fine substance, and are 
produced in great abundance on plants 
that make very uniform growth. The 
colors are especially clear and rich and 
there is a well-balanced color range.
