There are two distinct types of Delphinium—the 
Hybrids, and what we might refer to as the Bella- 
donna type. The latter are not so strong in growth 
or long stemmed as the Hybrids, but flower more 
freely. Decidedly the best Hybrids are the Giant 
Pacifics originated by Vetterle and Reinelt of Cali- 
white. 
fornia. They are available in a fine line of colors 
from light to the darkest blue, lavender, mauve and 
Nearly all come remarkably true to color 
considering their strong Hybrid origin, and they are 
quite resistant to mildew. Our own experience the 
past season indicates that all varieties will flower 
freely outdoors the first summer during August and 
September from a late January or early February 
sowing. The class known as Chinensis, usually 
grown as an annual, is not so vigorous as the above 
and rather short stemmed, but earlier flowering.

IMPORTANT! 
We offer both the originator’s and seed 
grown from the originator’s stock in the 
Court Series of Giant Pacific Delphinium. 
The regular strain, while not quite up to 
the standard of the originator’s, will be 
found satisfactory and far better than the 
cheap hybrids. In ordering any of the 
Court Series, please note the difference 
in price and specify “originator’s” or 
“grown from originator’s.”
