Delphinium Larkspur 
-—BCO—Delphiniums are one of the 
most showy of the Hardy 
Perennials. As a rule they 
are very hardy with us, but 
this last winter, (1943-44) 
got the best of them as had 
them planted on low ground 
and the excessive moisture 
early in the spring took most 
of them. They require well 
drained and rich soil. Also 
need staking as they grow to 
quite a height up to 4-5 feet 
for the Pacific Giants and 
the wind blows them down.

this summer. Mixed colors.
