ptuuual Larkspur 
8,000 seeds per oz. 
For Early Summer Cut Flowers Outdoors: If a sowing is made 
outdoors by growers in the near South 6 or 7 weeks before the 
ground freezes, plants well enough established to winter over in 
all except the most severe seasons can be produced. In the North 
sowing should be done as early in the spring as the soil can be 
worked—just as soon as the frost is out of the ground. 
Under Glass—Spring Flowering: For indoor growing, Larkspur 
is a nice crop to follow either early or late Mums. Well started, 
3-inch, banded or potted plants should be ready, and are produced 
by a September or later sowing. Space at least 12 x 12 in. on 
ground beds; 10 x 10 in. on raised beds should be ample. The 
after-Mum planting is generally started out cool, 45° nights, in- 
petine to 50° or more with spring weather. Height indoors 
£0 "oO. If. 
Germination: Larkspur seed doesn’t germinate well in high tem- 
peratures. If it must be sown when hot, better do so in flats set 
under a bench or in a cool shed. It requires 2 to 3 weeks to 
come through, sometimes longer. 
New Crop Seed is always most reliable for sowing under adverse 
conditions of summer heat. We have a special source for Larkspur 
seed (7 best varieties only) permitting delivery in early July. If you 
order in early summer, please specify whether you prefer to wait 
for new crop. After August all orders are filled with new crop seed.
