There are two distinct types of Delphinium—the Hy- 
brids, and what we might refer to as the Belladonna 
type. The latter are not so strong in growth or long 
stemmed as the Hybrids, but flower more freely. De- 
cidedly the best Hybrids are the Giant Pacifics origi- 
nated by Vetterle and Reinelt of California. They are 
available in a fine line of colors from light to the dark- 
est blue, lavender, mauve and white. Nearly all come 
remarkably true to color considering their strong hybrid 
Also, they are quite resistant to mildew, tho 
late in the season our greenhouse plants will develop 
some, but much less than other types. The class known 
as Chinensis, usually grown as an annual, is not so 
vigorous as the above and rather short stemmed, but 
earlier flowering. Seed of all varieties sown in January 
can be transplanted in flats, grown cool and set out 
early to harden before planting in the open. 
Delphinium is one of the most valua- 
ble hardy perennials for outdoor cut- 
ting—also responds well to forcing. 
Outdoors they seem to be profitable 
from Canada to Florida, tho the finest 
flowers are produced where summer 
temperatures are moderate. 

The Giant Pacific Delphiniums are real money makers when properly grown. 21
