Delphinium Plants... From March to the end of May 
and from September to the end of November we are offer- 
ing strong, young plants, in twelve assorted shades, as 
marked for cross-pollinized seed. Transplanted, they will 
grow rapidly on and bring far better results in a shorter 
time than the old clumps. We prefer distribution of young 
seedlings rather than the one- or two-year-old clumps, 
which very seldom bring good results, as they are quite 
exhausted and it takes a year at best to get them re-estab- 
lished, during which time the flowers are not at their best. 
Young seedlings will produce show specimens within four 
or five months after planting and continue blooming for 
several years. In California interior valleys where the cli- 
mate is too warm, autumn planting, September and Octo- 
ber, is preferable. Plants having time to establish good 
root systems during winter will bring beautiful spikes in 
early spring. Cooler regions will give good results from 
both autumn and spring planting, except in heavy, cold 
soils, where spring planting is preferable. 
Seedling Plants... $2.00 per dozen; $14.00 per 100. F.O.B. 
Capitola. 
Self-Pollinated Seed ... Besides the cross-pollinated 
seed, which is produced only in small quantities, we also 
supply self-pollinated seed to cover the commercial trade. 
Of the one hundred thousand seedlings which we grow 
annually, 40 to 60 per cent are rogued out, leaving only 
the best for the production of self-pollenized seed which 
we list below.
