BEAUTIFUL DELPHINIUMS 
No perennial border would be complete without masses of stately Delphinium or Hardy Larkspur. They 
produce striking spikes of flowers that will make a grand display in your garden in early summer, and they often 
produce a second crop later in the season if the dead blossoms are removed. The predominating color is blue in 
various shades, and in the hybrid classes we find gorgeous combinations of blues, pinks, lavenders and purples with 
dark and light eyes. The individual flowers vary from single to fully double. Galahad is a pure white variety with 
dark or light-colored eyes. Delphiniums prefer a good garden soil and full sunlight. 
Giant Pacific Hybrids 
This is an American production, noted for its long 
spikes and huge flowers of fine texture and clear colors. 
The plants often reach a height of 6 to 8 feet and should | 
be placed in the rear of the border. They are more 
resistant to disease than many other strains.
