The ongeous Delphiniums! 
PACIFIC STRAIN—This famous strain represents the 
cumulative achievements of many years of painstaking 
hybridizing work. Each year we secure fresh seed, pro- 
duced by controlled crossing, direct from the originators 
of this superb strain. Few plants in the whole plant 
kingdom put on such gorgeous, lavish displays and their 
stately, bloom-laden stalks are an imposing sight. No 
garden is truly complete without a few of these regal 
favorites. They are ideal for background massing and for 
commanding accents here and there in the border. Their 
open-all-at-once spikes and their twice-a-year blooming 
habit, early summer and again in the fall, make them 
doubly desirable and doubly effective. 5 to 7 feet tall. 
Culture: To perform at their best Delphiniums need a 
deep, rich soil that contains generous quantities of humus 
(old manure, compost, and the like). They like ample 
moisture but will not flourish in soggy spots. These friendly 
giants prefer the sun but will thrive in part shade if it is 
not too dense. Space the plants not less than 2 feet; dig, 
divide, and reset the plants in freshly prepared soil al- 
ternate years. To secure a maximum production of flowers 
in the autumn, after the summer crop of blooms has 
faded cut off the old bloom stalks, leaving some foliage. 
The Pacific Strain series offered below have mammoth individual florets 2/2 to 3 inches across and very 
double. Their breath-taking colors range from coolly inviting white through pastel lavender and soft sky 
blue to rich, solid blue and darkest purple. These series come remarkably true from seed and you will not be 
disappointed. Of course, since this stock is grown from seed, we cannot guarantee the exact shade. 
Black Knight—Rich, velvety, royal violet purple shades 
with harmonizing black or dark brown “‘bees’’. 
Blue Bird—The much-sought and hard-to-get, true ‘’Del- 
phinium Blue’’. Contrasting white centers. 
Galahad—|Immaculate, frosty all-white of huge size and 
glistening, heavy texture. A superb creation! 
Young, vigorous, one-year plants — Shipped only from 
mid-fall through early spring. Each 75c, three of one 
kind $1.90, six of one kind $3.50. 
The Only Perennial PINK DELPHINIUM! 
Pink Sensation (Plant Patent No. 324) 
Each $1.50, three $3.75, six $7.50, 25 for $28.00 
Truly a sensation in the Delphinium world since its intro- 
duction just a few years ago. The abundant, exquisite 
blooms on sturdy stems are a rare shade of salmon buff as 
they begin to open. This shade subtly passes to an en- 
trancing salmon pink and, finally, the fully opened blos- 
soms become a wonderful rose pink. Pink Sensation pro- 
duces an amazing number of blooms during late spring and 
early summer and stages another festivive show in the 
fall if sheared. In fact, it is usual in many sections for 
this seemingly untiring variety to have as many as four 
crops of bloom every year! The plants branch freely, 
creating an airy effect. There is a wealth of flowers on the 
lateral shoots as well as on the main stalks. Delphinium 
Pink Sensation reaches 3 to 4 feet and is tall enough to be 
a center of interest in large gardens but is refined and 
small enough to fit in beautifully in even restricted subur- 
ban yards. 
Two of the many exceptional features about Pink Sen- 
sation are its hardiness and vigorous constitution. It seems 
to thrive equally in hot or cold climates, often succeeding 
in sections where other Delphiniums are troublesome. All 
this variety needs is an ordinary loamy soil that is not too 
acid and plenty of warm sun. It must have a well-drained 
spot but requires only average moisture while in growth. 
Rather dry conditions when dormant are not harmful. 
Pink Sensation is satisfyingly free of serious pests and dis- 
eases. Space the plants 12 to 15 inches apart and dig, 
divide and replant every third year or as needed. The 
roots of this variety are relatively small. 
Guinevere—A romantic art shade; softest lavender warmed 
by the faintest pink undertones. Huge florets. 
Percival— Compelling masterpiece in fleecy white with 
startling black eyes. A fascinating novelty. 
Summer Skies—The elusive, soft blue so long sought by 
Delphinium breeders. White ‘‘bees’’ for added charm.
