Burpee’s Annual Larkspurs 
One of the most beautiful and desirable flowers for the garden and cutting. 
Easily 
taised, quick growers, and very free flowering; produce a wealth of large, double blooms 
on long, attractive spikes. 
Even the deep green, finely divided foliage is pretty when 
plants are not yet in bloom. We offer your choice of three distinct types. 28 
The culture of annual larkspur is quite easy. They do best in a sunny position, in rich, 
well-drained garden soil free from fresh manure. As they like cool weather in which to 
germinate and to grow best, seed should be sown as early in the spring as the ground 
can be worked —the earlier, the better —but do not sow in cold, wet ground. We suggest 
sowing seed where plants are to bloom, as they sometimes resent being transplanted. 
When seedlings are large enough to handle, thin them to stand 1 to 1% ft. apart.
