You will enjoy beautiful tapering spikes of 
Pacific Giant Delphinium from these 1 year old 
field grown plants. Choose an open sunny situ- 
ation, dig in some manure and a little bone- 
meal, set the plants 2 ft. apart. When the first 
crop of blooms has faded, cut the spike off 
above the foliage and let the plant rest 2 weeks. 
When new shoots appear cut off the remainder
