peuuual Larkspur 
(8,000 seeds per oz.) 
(Pictured in color on back cover) 
For growers who must plant Larkspur early we are offering this year for the 
first time, seed from a specially grown crop of our Six Best Varieties which 
should be ready by August 1. New crop seed from our main harvest will be 
ready late August and early September, in time for most growers’ needs. 
Larkspur is a very popular cut flower crop for both under glass and 
in the open. If a sowing is made outdoors by growers in the near 
south 6 or 7 weeks before the ground freezes, plants well enough 
established to winter over in all except the most severe seasons can 
be produced. In our locality sowing should be done late enough to 
avoid germination before the ground freezes. With good drainage 
and some coarse covering such a sowing will germinate promptly in 
early spring and get into flower 2 or 3 weeks before the spring sown 
crop. 
For indoor growing, Larkspur is a nice crop to follow either late or 
early Mums. Well started 3 inch pot plants should be ready, and are 
produced by a September sowing in pots set in a cold frame. We 
prefer raised beds for Larkspur, but if ground beds are well drained 
and care is used in watering, very good results can be had with them. 
The base-branching varieties which include the Six Best listed below 
are largely used today, although the new Super Majestics are gain- 
ing wide favor.

SUPER MAJESTICS 
Extra vigorous growth with long 
stems and long spikes of fully double 
flowers are the important points 
about this new Larkspur strain. For 
outdoor growing, where older varie- 
ties have been rather short-stemmed, 
the 20% additional length of this 
new class is a distinct advantage. 
Equally valuable for greenhouse cul- 
ture (see photo below). 
*Rose Pink. Creamy rose-pink. 
*Lavender. Deep, rosy lavender. 
*White. Large, pure white.
