“Flower Seeds for Florists” 
Profitable Delplintum 
Delphinium will germinate poorly in a high tem- 
(10,000 seeds per oz. 
perature. We find the best plan for producing strong 
plants to sell or plant out in spring is to sow around 
Sept. 1 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. 
rest, or late Nov. they should be taken up and 
planted in a cold house spacing 6 x 8 in. 
Feb. |, start them into growth in a minimum tem- 
later increasing to 50° nights. 
This schedule should get them into full crop by 
Mother's Day. The finest of all hybrid Delphinium 
perature of 40-45°, 
are the Giant Pacific Hybrids. 
Decidedly the best Hybrid Delphin- 
ium are the Giant Pacifics pictured 
here. Originated by Vetterle and 
Reinelt of California, they are 
available in a fine line of colors 
from light to darkest blue, laven- 
der, mauve and white.
