Burpee’s Annual Larkspurs 
One of the most beautiful and desirable flowers for the garden and cutting. 
Easily 
raised, quick growers, and very free flowering; produce a wealth of large, double blooms 
on long, attractive spikes. 
Even the deep green, finely divided foliage is pretty when 
plants are not yet in bloom. We offer your choice of three distinct types. = sehr 
The culture of annual larkspur is quite easy. They do best in a sunny position, in rich, 
well-drained garden soil free from fresh manure. 
As they like cool weather in which to 
germinate and to grow best, seed should be sown as early in the spring as the ground 
can be worked —the earlier, the better —but do not sow in cold, wet ground. 
We suggest 
sowing seed where plants are to bloom, as they sometimes resent being transplanted. 
When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them to stand 1 to 1% ft. apart. 
Perennial Larkspurs, see Delphinium, page 111.

Giant Imperial Larkspur, Mixed Colors 
Giant Imperial 
Grow Upright Like Delphiniums 
Attractive flower-spikes, 3 to 4 ft. tall, 
which stand upright, close to the center 
stalk—a decided improvement on older 
spreading types especially where space is 
iimited. Well-formed, large, double flow- 
ers in a wonderful range of colors. 
2121 Blue Bell Clear light azure-blue. 
2166 Dark Blue Spire Oxford-blue. 
2165 Carmine King Carmine-rose. 
2126 Daintimess Delicate lavender. 
2131 Dazzler improved Deeper and 
brighter carmine-red than old Dazzler. 
Wonderful color; quite sunproof. 
2142 Glitters Scintillating salmon- 
cerise; the brightest of all larkspurs. 
Large, double flowers fill the spikes, the 
laterals coming into bloom at almost the 
same time as the main spike, which is quite 
unusual. Not so tall as others and more 
showy because of the many blooms. 
2267 Lady Lenore Soft salmon-pink. 
2167 Lilac Spire Improved An ap- 
pealing shade of lilac with silvery sheen. 
2129 Los Angeles Improved Lu- 
minous salmon-rose. Favorite for cutting.

double, pure white flowers, closely placed 
on heavy spikes. Profuse bloomer.
