GIANT IMPERIAL LARKSPURS 
—This strain represents the most marked 
advance in improving larkspurs, both in the 
fullness of the flower spikes, the size of the 
flower and in the shades of color. The branch- 
ing habit has been intensified, giving a 
greater number of branches to each plant, 
each branch producing a solid mass of color. 
The 38 to 4 foot flower spikes render them 
ideal for cut flowers that keep for a long 
time.
