Self-Pollinated Seed... Besides the cross-pollinated 
seed, which is produced only in small quantities, we also 
supply self-pollinated seed to cover the commercial trade. 
Of the one hundred thousand seedlings which we grow 
annually, 40 to 60 per cent are rogued out, leaving only 
the best for the production of self-pollenized seed which 
we list below.

Delphinium Plants ... During March and April and 
September and October we are offering strong, young 
plants, in twelve assorted shades, as marked for cross- 
pollinized seed. Transplanted, they will grow rapidly on 
and bring far better results in a shorter time than the old 
clumps. We prefer distribution of young seedlings rather 
than the one- or two-year-old clumps, which very seldom 
bring good results, as they are quite exhausted and it takes 
a year at best to get them re-established, during which 
time the flowers are not at their best. Young seedlings 
will produce show specimens within four or five months 
after planting and continue blooming for several years. 
In California interior valleys where the climate is too 
warm, autumn planting, September and October, is pref- 
erable. Plants having time to establish good root systems 
during winter will bring beautiful spikes in early spring. 
Cooler regions will give good results from both autumn 
and spring plantings, except in heavy, cold soils, where 
spring planting is preferable. 
Seedling Plants ... $3.50 per dozen; $26.00 per 100.
