Astolat is the first really pink delphinium 
available from seed. 
CYNOGLOSSUM (Chinese Forget-Me-Not) 
2583—Firmament. This is the new compact 
and improved strain that won All-America 
recognition. The intense blue Forget-me-not- 
like flowers are borne in sprays on bushy plants. 
One of the easiest flowers to grow from seed 
sown outdoors. 2 ft. 
Pkt. 15c; Lg. Pkt. 30c; 14 Oz. 50c. 
DAHLIA SEED 
2606 —Unwin’s Dwarf Hybrids. If you haven’t 
planted dahlias from seed you are missing one 
of the most satisfying annuals. The flowers are 
semi-double in soft pinks, deep rose, salmon, 
buff, yellow, orange, scarlet and crimson. Plants 
grow 2 feet high with a spread of 18 inches. If 
stems are dipped in hot water for a few minutes 
after cutting, the cut flowers will last for days. 
Spray with DDT to control leaf hoppers which 
distort the buds and flowers. The tubers of 
those colors you like may be saved, since sepa- 
rate colors of these hybrids are not possible 
from seed. 2 ft. 
Pkt. 25c; Lg. Pkt. 50c; 14 Oz. $1.25. 
Illustrated in color on page 41 
For tubers of Dahlias, see page 70. 
If we could have only two or three annuals in 
our garden, Unwin Hybrid Dahlias would be one 
of them. 
DELPHINIUM 
(Hardy Larkspur) 
Our delphiniums are grown on our own farms, 
out in the open field under ordinary farm cul- 
ture, so insuring you of greater adaptability, 
increased vigor, and greater hardiness than is 
found in many “‘pampered”’ strains. You can 
also depend on getting fresh, new-crop seed. 
THE PACIFIC GIANTS 
A new strain of delphiniums originating on 
the Pacific Coast. Truly magnificent blooms, 
the immense spikes often being over 6 feet high. 
The florets are very large, often double and in 
most unusual combinations of colors. Our seed 
has been grown here in the North from the 
originators stock. When well grown, the plants 
often produce 6 to 8 spikes. 5 to 6 ft. 
Illustrated in color on page 43.
