The qualities we look for in Delphiniums are not only 
huge flowers and spikes, regardless of other characteristics, 
but on the contrary we often use plants of smaller size if 
they have outstanding qualities in color or form. Our aim 
is to produce large flowers properly proportioned to the 
size of spikes, so as to maintain balance and retain the 
grace of the entire plant. Another important feature in our 
developments is comparative mildew-resistance. Over ten 
acres of seedlings are being grown this year for selection, 
from which only the finest members combining all the 
desirable characteristics are retained for seed production. 
This enables us to produce very high quality seed, giving 
customers the advantage of the newest developments.
