FAMOUS STRAIN (VETTERLE & REINELT’S) WOULD COST YOU AS LITTLE AS 2 CENTS PER 
PLANT. A HALF PACKET OF V. & R. DELPHINIUM SEEDS SHOULD PRODUCE 50 OR MORE

Delphinium Seeds. 
VETTERLE & REINELT’S (PACIFIC HYBRIDS) were awarded a gold 
medal at the 1939 and 1940 Oakland Spring Garden Shows, the annual 
flower events of the Pacific Coast. Could not compete in 1941. 
V. & B. Delphiniums are classed with the top-ranking strains of the world. 
Praises of them are just as numerous and sincere from the professionals 
as from the amateurs, 
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THE SEED. Seed growers 
throughout the world grow V. & R's Pacific Hy - 
brids. Only Vetterle & Reinelt, the originators 
grow the Hand-Cross-Pollinated strain. We offer 
only seed grown by Vetterle & Reinelt, 2 grades- ; 
HAND CROSS-POLLINATED seed is V. & R.’s best strain. This stock = 
possesses the most desirable characteristics, qualities which are intensified 
to the greatest degree possible. The percentage of show specimens from 
this hand cross pollinated seed is the highest obtainable. 
SELF-POLLINATED seed is collected from outstanding plants and will 
produce plants fairly uniform in color and type. For exhibition plants. 
however, sow the hand cross pollinated seed,
