WEST CHICAGO 
ILLINOIS 
Florists Delphiniam 
If you're passing up Delphinium, we honestly feel that you're 
missing a mighty good chance for extra profits. They’re easily 
grown, take little costly greenhouse space, and the Giant Pacific 
Hybrids are remarkably free from pests and diseases—espe- 
cially mildew. A little effort at display should sell plenty of 
plants for you, and you can’t beat them for your own summer 
cut flower use. 
Delphinium will germinate poorly in a high temperature. We 
find the best plan for producing strong plants to sell or plant 
out in spring is to sow around Sept. | in finely prepared soil in 
a cold frame. Be sure it is well watered and sow thinly to avoid 
the necessity for transplanting. 
For forcing, sow the seed not later than Aug. 1 in flats set 
in the coolest spot available and later transplant the seedlings 
into frames. After a short rest, or late Nov. they should be 
taken up and planted in a cold house spacing 6 x 8 in. About 
Feb. 1, start them into growth in a minimum temperature of 
40-45°, later increasing to 50° nights. This schedule should 
get them into full crop by Mother’s Day. The finest of all 
hybrid Delphinium are the Giant Pacific Hybrids.
