DOUBLE PURITY. Sometimes we look back at the 
things that used to be. Do you remember when “Tce- 
berg” was introduced and the excitement over the 
first white Delphinium? Our new selected white strain 
of Pacific Hybrids is so far superior to the older form 
of greenish white blooms that we have called it Purity. 
Every plant produces large, glistening white double 
flowers. Pkt., 35c. 
GIANT ENGLISH HYBRIDS. Our stock of English 
Hybrids has been made up from some of the finest 
Delphinium collections in Europe and America; and 
while they cannot compare with our Pacific Hybrids, 
they are far superior to ordinary Delphiniums. The 
range of color contains all of the self-colors, as well 
aS various combinations of rose, mauve, blue, purple, 
ete. We highly recommend this mixture. Pkti, 52563

The queen of the floral kingdom and the envy of every flower 
lover. No garden is complete without these stately towers of 
beauty. They are the very foundation of the perennial border. 
By planting our selected strains and following a few simple 
rules anyone can grow Delphiniums to be proud of. Provide a 
well drained soil that is not sour, feed well with hardwood 
ashes, and do not allow more than 2 or 3 spikes per plant. 
DOUBLE PACIFIC HYBRIDS. Did you ever go shopping 
and come home with that absolute feeling that your purchase was 
“tops’”’ in every sense of the word? If you have, then you can 
have that same assurance with our beautiful, hand selected Pa- 
cific Hybrids. Individual double flowers 21 inches across, on 
spikes 5 to 6 feet high, are not at all unusual. Your flower loving 
friends will stop, look and marvel at them. Greater beauty was 
never created. Many color combinations of blue, purple, rose 
and lavender are exquisitely blended, hardly two alike. Our 
hand picked seed is carefully selected from all double flowers.
