DELPHINIUM SPECIES HYBRIDS 
‘““WEST O’ THE ROCKIES’’ STRAIN 

Observations: 
Seed of the DH. and particularly the PH. Series in the various 
color groupings is gathered from open-pollenated plants. From 
this seed, considerable variation of flower color should be ex- 
pected. However, from each lot of seed some very choice colors 
will generally appear. We are progressing into the third genera- 
tion, toward the fixation of type and color, with some of these 
color groups. These will soon be released, together with some en- 
tirely new series. 
Germination of seed from new D.: species hybrids is always a 
variable factor. Improvement of percentages of seed germinations 
in such plans, involves much consistant selection. This improve- 
ment program is in our project book, ‘and progress should be 
noticeable in a few generations. Viable seed of all of these hy- 
brids does appear to have, longer life, in common storage con- 
’ ditions. than does other garden types of Delphinium. 
We are most apiireciative of the fine reception granted our 
strains of “WEST O° THE ROCKIES” HYBRIDS during the 
past season. Thanks is due those who so confidently placed their 
orders for seed with us. Thanks too, is particularly due those 
who bore with us the disappointment of the unavoidable delay 
of filling their orders. Earnest effort is being made to forestall 
the recurrence of such delays.

We have grown EREMURUS by the hundreds for years. 
Their hardihood, persistance, and spectacular appearance, | 
make them the present time pre-eminent plant, in their
