Tall Double Annual LARKSPUR 
A tall, upright branching plant that holds aloft, on strong stems, long trusses of 
large very double flowers. Splendid in the garden and for cutting. Larkspur is one of the 
best known of garden flowers, and in recent years a vast improvement has been effected 
by careful selection in size and color of the blossoms and the general habit of the plant. 
Seeds sown outdoors before the close of April will produce flowering plants by the be- 
ginning of July, and give a continuous succession of flowers from then until frost, a record 
that is not surpassed by any other annual. They make handsome beds and their free, 
graceful habit and bright colors are very effective when planted in groups in the old- 
fashioned flower or shrubbery border. As a cut flower they are particularly useful. Please 
remember Larkspur seed requires cool weather for germination. Sow as early in the spring 
as possible. Fall sowing should be done in September.

FROM VICK’S FLORAL GUIDE, 1872 3 
“The Aster is a universal favorite, and has steadily increased in popularity for half a 
century. The quality of the flower has also kept pace with its increasing popularity,
