Whether you grow for cut flowers indoors or out—or for a plant 
trade, Delphinium should be a part of your program. And the 
wonderfully fine Giant Pacific Hybrids should head your list of 
varieties. Our trials last summer again showed them far ahead of 
any other strain for huge florets and spikes—and for wonderful 
colors.

seed, and cooler weather then helps sprouting. Sow seed thinly 
direct to a cold frame. In late fall remove sash and protect with 
some loose coarse material. You'll have fine plants either for field 
planting or plant sales the next spring.

For greenhouse forcing: We experienced best results when an 
Aug. 1 sowing, rather than year old clumps, was used. Transplant 
seedlings to cold frame when ready. About Dec. 1 move them to 
a cold house, spacing 6x8 in. for hybrids; 6x6 in. for Belladonna 
types. Feb. 1 run them up to 40° nights, gradually increasing to 
50°. You'll cut excellent spikes from Mother’s Day well into July. 
Belladonnas are heaviest producers; Pacific Hybrids top quality. 
Take your choice.

Six months from seed! That’s Giant Pacific Delphinium, Galahad. 

IMPORTANT 
Delphinium seed usually doesn’t germinate satisfactorily 
after it is around ten months old. Because of this, orders 
for Delphinium seed received after June Ist will be held 
for new crop seed—ready about mid-July—unless we are 
instructed to make immediate shipment, in which case 
orders will be filled with 1949 seed.
