VETTERLE & REINELT’S (PACIFIC HYBRIDS) were awarded a gold 
medal at the 1939 and 1940 Oakland Spring Garden Shows, the annual 
flower events of the Pacific Coast. 
Could not compete in 1941. 
V. & R. Delphiniums are classed with the top-ranking strains of the world. 
Praises of them are just as numerous and sincere from the professionals 
as from the amateurs. Our Seed Supplied by Vetterle & Reinelt. 
HAND CROSS-POLLINATED seed is V. & R.’s best strain. 
This stock 
possesses the most desirable characteristics, qualities which are intensified 
to the greatest degree possible. 
The percentage of show specimens from 
this hand cross pollinated seed is the highest obtainable. 
SELF-POLLINATED seed is collected from outstanding plants and will 
produce plants fairly uniform in color and type. 
For exhibition plants, 
however, sow the hand cross pollinated seed.
