perial Larkspur. 
(8,000 seeds per oz.) 
Larkspur, because of its bulk and 
weight, is essentially a locally 
grown crop and market growers 
of this item will have little com- 
petition from stock shipped any 
great distance. A January green- 
house sowing of Larkspur will 
flower about May, depending on 
temperatures. While it is sown 
outdoors to advantage in the fall, 
spring sowings do about as well 
if sown the first day the ground 
can be prepared. To draw up 
long stemmed flowers, use fairly 
enriched soil and water when 
quite dry. While the standard 
varieties are usually satisfactory, 
the finer quality of the new Im- 
proved Imperials and the Super 
Majestics will more than repay 
their extra initial cost. 
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 varieties have been rather 
short-stemmed, the additional length of 
this new class is a distinctive advantage. 
Equally valuable for greenhouse culture.
