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. 1 in finely

transplanting. 
For forcing, sow the seed not later than Aug. 1 in 
flats set in the coolest spot available and later bee. 
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. The finest of all hybrid Delphinium 
are the Giant Pacific Hybrids.
