CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Korean Hybrids 
_ While touring New England in autumn our 
_ neighbor, Sydney B. Mitchell, president of 
the California Horticultural Society, saw 
the magnificent massed plantings of Korean 
hybrid chrysanthemums at the Bristol 
Nurseries, where they were originated by 
ae _ the manager, Alex Cumming. 
We can now furnish seed direct from the 
Rts - way to secure a wide range of colors in these 
3 on brilliant early-flowering single, semi-double 
and double chrysanthemums. In California 
they come a month earlier than the pom- 
pon chrysanthemums and their branching, 
bushy growth makes them very suitable for 
garden as well as for cutting. 
Start the seed in March or April. Pinch 
the plants back two or three times before 
the buds begin to form. Plant in good mel- 
low soil but do not fertilize or the plant will 
-srow tall at the expense of the bloom.

DELPHINIUM 
Perennial Larkspur (p) 
Pacific Strain 
Delphinium is the tallest and stateliest of 
all garden flowers. The Pacific Strain devel- 
oped by Frank Reinelt produces most per- 
fect, well-balanced spikes, 4 to 8 feet high. 
The individual florets 2 inches to 3 inches 
across, almost all double and never Coarse. 
This strain is particularly mildew resistant. 
For best germination, seeds should be put in 
the refrigerator for a week and started with 
a bottom heat and cool overhead temper- 
ature. In hot weather the germination and 
growth are very poor. Plants should be in 
full sun and in rich, well-drained soil. All 
our seed comes from the originator of this 
strain.
