DELPHINIUM—The Larkspurs 
The breath-taking beauty of Delphiniums in full 
bloom is a never-to-be-forgotten spectacle. Their 
numerous flower-spikes stand out like stately senti- 
nels in multi-colored uniforms of varying shades of 
blue and white, guarding the peace and restfulness 
of the garden. Delphinium culture is easy. They 
like a well-drained soil enriched with well-rotted 
cow manure or its equivalent, with an occasional 
taste of lime. Allow for at least 18 inches space 
between plants; pick off faded flowers to insure 
continued blooming. The Larkspurs always attract 
undivided attention when in bloom in the Bay State 
fields where they have been prominent for many 
seasons. 
PACIFIC HYBRIDS. These are admittedly the 
leaders in the Larkspur parade. Words fail to 
describe the beauty and stateliness of their 
erect flower spikes, 5 feet or more tall. The 
flowers range through all shades of blue, some 
with contrasting centers. The pure white form 
is rare and beautiful. We are proud to offer 
these superb plants. See back cover.
