Annual Larkspur 
Sow the seed as early in the spring as the ground is in 
workable condition or still better sow late in November, just 
before heavy freezing weather sets in. To get a crop of 
flowers for Decoration Day sow under glass in December 
and January, grow cool, protect the plants from drafts to 
avoid mildew and to get the greatest number of spikes cut out 
the central stalk when the plants are 6 inches tall. Larkspur 
likes sun and rich soil. Resents fresh manure and trans- 
planting. For best results sow the seed where the plants 
are to stand, later thinning out the King type to stand 18 
inches apart each way, all others foot:apart each way. In 
the greenhouse grow in a temperature as near as possible 
to 50 degrees. 
SOWING LARKSPUR S¢¢4 germinates in from 20 to 
30 days from date of sowing 
but only when sown real early in the spring or during winter, 
under glass, in a cool house. Sown late in the spring or 
during summer when the weather is hot the seed will lay 
dormant all summer, but will come up either in the fall or 
very early the following spring. This means that it is a 
mistake to sow Larkspur in hot weather. Sown at proper 
time our seed will “come up” every time.
