IMPORTANT! Delphinium seed usually. doesn’t germinate satisfactorily after a year. For this reason we give 
double quantity from June Ist until new crop is received, where germination is not up to par—unless we are in- 
structed to hold your order for new crop seed which will be available from late July to September on, depending 
Florists’ Debphinium 
(10,000 seeds per oz.) 
Delphinium should be a substantial part of almost every grower’s program. They’re 
invaluable cut flowers and you'll find a ready demand for plants. The remarkable Giant 
Pacific Hybrids are “tops” almost everywhere. 
For outdoor cut flowers: Sow Sept. | thinly, direct to a cold frame—fresh seed and 
cooler weather then helps sprouting. In late fall remove sash and protect with some loose, 
coarse material. You'll have fine plants either for field planting or plant sales the next 
For greenhouse forcing: Sow Aug. 1, transplant seedlings to cold frame when ready. 
About Dec. 1 move them to a cold house, spacing 6x8 in. for hybrids; 6x6 in. for Bella- 
donna types. Feb. 1 run them up to 40° nights, gradually increasing to 50°. You'll cut 
excellent spikes from Mother’s Day well into July.
