for Florists” 
plauual Larkspur 
The foliage and flowers of this annual form of Delphinium 
become a pleasing combination. Easily grown, too, but to 
make good stems it must be sown early, in fairly enriched 
soil. While it is rather heavy and bulky for long distance 
shipping, much of it is grown in the 
shipped North. 
In New Jersey it is sown in October or timely for developing 
well established small plants before freezing. 
winter over in that state. Whether this is due to the temper- 
ing effect of the ocean, or the latitude, we are not sure. But 
such plants will not winter over in central Illinois. However, 
if sown in this section just before freezing, preventing fall 
germination, they will get an earlier start and flower earlier 
than if sown after conditions permit in the spring. Make a 
follow-up sowing in early spring for a succession crop.
