“Flower Seeds for Florists” 
ANNUAL LARKSPUB 20 cet: per 02) 
Long stems and choice colors explain the increasing interest in this half hardy annual. 
A Jan.—early Feb. sowing grown on a raised bed, 45—48° house should get in for Mother’s 
Day, with long enuf stems for any purpose. Also, it grows along fast enuf to resist rot 
better than a fall plan:ing that must go thru the depth of winter and that usually makes 
an unnecessary amount of growth, especially if in a deep bed. Much sowing is also done 
around March 1 to grow into young plants for outdoor planting. Such a start, of course, 
produces an earlier crop than a later outdoor sowing. In sections further south than we 
are, such a start might not pay so well because of early crops from outdoor fall sowings 
that make established plants before win‘er sets in.
