“Flower Seeds for Florists” 
DELPHINIUM 
(10,000 seeds per oz.) 
Delphinium are related to Larkspur and will ger- 
minate poorly in a high temperature. We find the 
best plan for producing strong plants to sell or 
plant out in spring is to sow around Sept. | in finely 
prepared soil in a cold frame. Be sure it is well 
watered and sow thinly to avoid the necessity of 
transplanting. 
For forcing, sow the seed not later than Aug. 1 in 
flats set in the coolest spot available and later 
transplant the seedlings into frames. After a 
short rest, or late Nov. they should be taken up 
and planted in a cold house spacing 6 x 8 in. About 
Feb 1, start them into growth in a minimum tem- 
perature of 40-45°, later increasing to 50° nights. 
This schedule should get them into full crop by 
Mother’s Day.
