WEST CHICAGO 
ILLINOIS 
Florists’ Delphintam 
(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. 1 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 
spring. 
Prices of above: 
Grow Giant Pacific Hybrids for more profits— 
either for cut flower or for small plant sales. 
1 oz., $15.50.

IMPORTANT! Delphinium seed usually doesn’t germinate sat- 
isfactorily after a year. For this reason, where germination is 
not up to par, we give double quantity from June 1st until new 
crop is received—unless we are instructed to hold your order 
for new crop seed which will be available from early August 
to September on, depending on harvesting conditions. 
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.
