Burpee’s Annual LARKSPURS 
One of the most beautiful and desirable flowers for 
the garden and cutting. Easily raised, 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, 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. 
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 re- 
sent being transplanted. When seedlings are large 
enough to handle, thin them to stand 1 to 1% ft. apart. 
We offer your choice of three distinct types.
