Dy. The dot (@) indicates varieties most dependably 
Whether you grow for cut flowers indoors or out—or for a plant 
trade, Delphinium should be a part of your program. And the 
wonderfully fine Giant Pacific Hybrids should head your list of 
varieties. Our trials last summer again showed them far ahead of 
any other strain for huge florets and spikes—and for wonderful 
colors. If seed is sown around mid-January, germination will be 
much better than during the heat of midsummer and plants will 
grow faster. Transplant the seedlings to 2-inch plant bands, which 
should go into a cold frame as soon as weather permits—then to 
the open field as early as the soil can be worked. Neary every 
plant will produce at least one good spike the first summer (in 
July or August) with a bumper crop the second year.
