OFFERMAN’S SILVER QUEEN 
It has all the opalescent splendor of true Mother of Pearl, shin 
ing from the bud through to the shimmering loveliness of the huge 
double flowers. It brings to one all the soft shades of distant 
mountains in a summer twilight. 
The bee, whatever the intensity of white, or brown, or black, 
lends an enchantment to each flower. I never have been sure 
which bee I like best for this flower. 
As Silver Queen opens, it is as if a bright moonbeam has come 
to shine upon each flower, sending the twilight colors into the 
shadows, leaving only a breath of opalescence in its silvery light.

Recently I was in Seattle and visited your delphinium gardens. I was 
especially interested in the plants marked '’PRIVAT STRAIN”, with tall 
spikes and huge flowers. The color ranging was magnificent, particu- 
larly the new shades of rose, raspberry rose and pink colors, with the 
gold, black and white bees. I was disappointed in not finding you at 
home. Please air mail me your catalog.
