A Fine, New Guide to Herbs 
Most books on Herbs skip specific cultural information; or 
deal in glittering generalities; or dwell overlong on history 
and medicinal use. Not so HERBS, FROM THE GARDEN TO 
THE TABLE, by Dorothy Childs Hogner. She tells how to 
grow them, how to use them, is even specific in the amount 
to use. The book is made further delightful by Nils Hogner’s 
drawings. 236 pages, indexed. Price, Parcel Post prepaid: 
$4.25

DELPHINIUM 
(Perennial Larkspur) 
Pacific Coast Hybrids 
The California hybridizers, Vetterle & Reinelt, have 
walked away with the delphinium show—no one has 
come near equalling the spectacular beauty of their 
Round Table Series. These hybrids are not as long-lived 
as Belladonna and related varieties and many delphin- 
ium fanciers treat them as biennials. 
They require excellent drainage and a strongly 
alkaline soil—dry wood ashes worked into the area a 
few days before planting is best. Do not overfeed. And 
do not cover in winter—a thin layer of coal ashes will 
protect the crowns from slugs. Occasional dusting with 
sulphur controls leaf black spot. All clumps are strongly 
grown, two-year-old stock. Height: 4 to 7 feet. Protect 
flowering spikes from wind, or stake. (Maybe you had 
better stake anyway.) All bloom in late June or early July. 
Better plant 2 feet apart.
