LARKSPUR (HO 5 ft.) 
These old garden favorites have been bred and improved until 
today they are among our most beautiful flowers. Among all 
of the families of larkspur, the Giant Imperials rank first in 
size, form, and brilliance of their colors. These Giant Imperials 
of today look much like our best Delphiniums. They are im- 
portant both as garden flowers and for cutting, being very much 
in demand by the best florists. Sow the seed early in_ the 
spring where the plants are to remain and give frequent shallow 
cultivation. In the South, seed may be sowed in the fall and 
they will give early spring blossoms,
