LARKSPUR 
There is, perhaps, no annual in which there has 
been such marked improvement in recent years 
as in annual larkspur. Since the seed requires 
cool conditions for germination, sow it just as 
early as possible in the spring. For very early 
bloom seed may be sown in early September. 
New plantings should be made each year since 
“volunteer” seedlings are apt to revert to plants 
with small dull colored blooms.
