Larkspur 
IMPROVED LARKSPURS 
One of the most beautiful and desir- 
able annuals for the garden and cutting. 
Easily raised, quick growers, and very 
fine flowering; produce a wealth of 
large, double blooms on long, attractive 
spikes. Even the deep green, finely 
divided foliage is beautiful. 
Larkspurs are cool weather plants 
and for best results should be sown in 
the fall. Plants are thinned out to the 
proper distance and allowed to branch 
normally for a more brilliant show of 
color. In the colder sections, seed 
should be sown broadcast in its perma- 
nent position in the garden. If very 
severe, a light mulch covering should 
be applied. Seed will, therefore, remain 
stratified and dormant throughout the 
winter months and with the spring 
thaws and first warmth will germinate 
and commence to grow. As Larkspur 
seed requires a chilling for best germi- 
nation, this is the ideal treatment for 
best results. 
GIANT IMPERIAL. Attractive flower 
spikes, 3 to 4 ft. tall, which stand 
upright, close to the center stalk—a 
decided improvement on older types. 
Well-formed, large, double flowers in 
a wonderful range of colors. 
@Blue Bell. Special Mention—1934 
All-America Selections. Clear 
azure-blue; lovely and desirable 
shade. 
Blue Spire. Intense Oxford-blue, 
most attractive. 
Carmine King. Deep carmine-rose; 
always attracts attention. 
Lilac Spire Improved. A most ap- 
pealing shade of soft lilac. 
Exquisite Pink Improved. Soft 
pink shaded salmon. 
Rosalind. A new color in Larkspur, 
rose with just enough suffusion 
of salmon to create a most pleas- 
ing new shade of rose pink. The 
spikes are wiry and the blooms 
practically non-shattering, a 
quality so essential for cutting 
or shipping. 
White King. Extra large, fully 
double, pure white flowers, closely 
placed on heavy spikes a little 
taller than other colors. 
Mixed Colors. 
LUPINUS (Sun Dials). Free-flowering, 
easily grown annuals, with long grace- 
ful spikes of rich and various colored 
pea-shaped flowers; valuable for 
mixed borders, beds and for cutting; 
prefer a little shade. 2 feet. Inocu- 
late with Nitragin. 
King or Giant Hartwegii. Base 
branching plants, each bearing six 
to eight very large spikes. 3 to 4 ft. 
King Blue. Rich Oxford-blue striped 
white. Very effective.
