medal at the 1939 and 1940 Oakland Spring Garden Shows, the annual 
flower events of the Pacific Coast. 
Could not compete in 1941, 
V. & R. Delphiniums are classed with the top-ranking strains of the world. 
Praises of them are just as numerous and sincere from the professionals 
as from the amateurs. 
HAND CROSS-POLLINATED seed 
is V. & R.’s best strain.

possesses the most desirable characteristics, qualities which are intensified 
to the greatest degree possible.

produce plants fairly uniform in color 
and type. For exhibition plants, 
however, sow the hand cross pollinated seed.
