GIANT, 100% DOUBLE SPIKES 


A MILESTONE IN DELPHINIUM ACHIEVEMENT 

© PRODUCE for America a new race of Del- , 
phiniums, certain to yield superb masses of blooms — finchant a 
in true, separate colors, 100% double and really 
perennial—that was a vision and ambition of Eugene 
S. Boerner, J. & P. hybridist and director of plant 
research. Now it has been realized—the result of many 
yeats of hybridizing and development in the J. & P. 
Department of Plant Research. Here are the fruits of 
this real advance in Delphinium breeding. 
Divine ment 
These are the remarkable new varieties that have 
won instant favor everywhere. Giant Hybrids possessing 
all the most desirable qualities—welcomed for their 
100% double florets, trueness to color and rugged spikes 
not easily blown down by the wind. 
Visitors to our experimental grounds have been sur- 
prised and delighted to see the astonishing display of 
these gorgeous new varieties, and to learn that they were 
hybridized in the rigid climate of northern New York 
State. To see over 300,000 plants blooming in our fields 
is a sight long to be remembered. From this time-tested 
panorama, the plants have been selected for your garden 
in 1942. 
Now you can control Delphinium color and planting 
schemes. As the pictures so attractively display, each 
is a different color and each complements the others; you 
will want all six. They are truly northern—hardy, 
disease-resistant, uniform in growth, perennial in habit. 
The huge spikes have a definite advantage in their 
“‘all-out-at-once’’ habit of florets.
