King of the perennial border is the Delphinium. This really majestic plant is the 
envy of the neighborhood, standing high above its companions and boasting a wealth 
of royal blue and purple tones. Spikes of bloom are a sight wonderful to behold. 
Their “country cousin” is the annual larkspur. 
Naturally, Delphiniums should be planted at the rear of lower-growing plants. 
They need rich, well-drained soil and either full sun or only tight shade. Set the plants 
at least 114 to 2 feet apart to allow good air circulation, and give them water in very 
dry spells. Staking is needed for the highest ones, to avoid wind damage. 
Hybridizers have produced a number of excellent improved strains of Delphinium, 
of which we offer several. 
PACIFIC 
HYBRIDS 
Sturdy spikes and mil- 
dew-resistant foliage char- 
acterize the Pacific Hy 
brids. They are widely 
planted, for their florets 
are unusually large and 
many are double. Light 
blue, dark blue, lilac, 
purple and almost pink 
are included. Bloom in 
early summer and often 
again in fall if the faded 
flowers are kept cut off. 
4 for $1.25; 8 for $2.35; 
12 for $3.25 
LAMARTINE 
A dwarf, dark blue 
Delphinium with white 
eye. Produces — several 
spikes of bloom at a time. 
Blooms in midseason and 
grows about 3 feet tall. 
Fine for cutting as well 
as garden decoration. 
4 for $1.15; 8 for $1.95; 
12 for $2.95 
BELLAMOSUM 
Rich dark blue spikes 
of bloom are produced in 
June. Grows 3 to 4 feet
