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.
