Annual Larkspur 
Sow the seed as early in the spring as the ground is in 
workable condition or still better sow late in November, just 
before heavy freezing weather sets in. To get a crop of 
flowers for Decoration Day sow under glass in December 
and January, grow cool, protect the plants from drafts to 
avoid mildew and to get the greatest number of spikes cut out 
the central stalk when the plants are 6 inches tall. Larkspur 
likes sun and rich soil. Resents fresh manure and trans- 
planting. For best results sow the seed where the plants 
are to stand, later thinning out the King type to stand 18 
inches apart each way, all others foot apart each way. In 
the greenhouse grow in a temperature as near as possible 
to 50 degrees.
