peuuual Larkspur 
8,000 seeds per oz. 
For Early Summer Cut Flowers Outdoors: If you failed to make 
an outdoor sowing last fall, good results can be had from a spring 
sowing—if you get your seed in the ground just as soon as the 
frost is out of it. Figure on 2 lbs. of seed to sow an acre or | oz. 
for 600 to 700 ft. of row, if seeds are sown about 1 inch apart. 
Height outdoors 2 to 3 ft. 
Under Glass—Spring Flowering: For indoor growing, Larkspur 
is a nice crop to follow late Mums. Well started 3-inch banded 
or potted plants should be ready, and are produced by a December 
or January sowing. Space at least 12x12 in. on ground; 10x10 in. 
on raised beds should be ample. The after-Mum planting is 
generally started out cool, 45° nights, increasing to 50° or more 
with spring weather. Height indoors 4 to 5 ft. 
Varieties: The newer Regals, Supremes and Super Majestics 
have largely improved most of the older Giant Imperials, being 
stronger growers with better flower spikes. If you’re not familiar 
with them, we suggest that you confine the bulk of your planting 
to the “7 Best” listed below.
