DELPHINIUM SPECIES HYBRIDS 
‘‘WEST O’ THE ROCKIES’’ STRAIN 
Cultural Suggestions: 
Culture of these Hybrids differ little from that of the ordinary 
Garden Delphinium. 
In this area, we prefer sowing the seed of these Hybrids as 
early as possible in the Summer. We sow in shaded and protected 
frames using a good friable soil, placing the seed in shallow drills, 
and covering it with fine sand. Moisture is provided as needed. When 
seealings are well up shading may be reduced. At advent of rainy or 
cold weather, frames may be banked with earth, and covered with 
glass, giving ventilation as needed. Young plants may be planted to 
permanent locations after the first bloom season. Sunny or semi- 
shaded garden positions for these plants is preferable. After-flower- 
ing domancy should be encouraged and Winter protection given. 
Methods of culture should be judiciously varied according to region 
in which seed is planted. 
It is often wise to try several methods of culture; using evenly 
divided portions of seed lots for each method.
