BLUE GOWN 
Pudor’s Pedigreed Strain 
DELPHINIUM 
DELPHINIUMS, the “QUEEN 
OF THE-GARDEN | in their 
gorgeous array of colors, from 
pure, sparkling white and lovely 
sky blues, through all the shades 
of blue and lavender to deep 
plum and velvety purples have 
held a prominent spot in the 
hearts of garden lovers for gen- 
erations. The new improvements 
far surpass the delphiniums that 
flourished in ‘“Grandmother’s” 
garden and careful selection and 
hybridization still continues to 
produce more beautiful speci- 
mens each year. Our strain, first 
developed by O. M. Pudor, is one 
olmthestinest. [he plants sare 
longer lived and more disease re- 
sistant than most delphiniums 
and the lovely colors, and won- 
derful substance in the huge 
florets reflect the careful selec- 
tion by Mr. Pudor in the early 
days of the strain. His keen sense 
of color and proportion estab- 
lished the ground-work for a 
strain which is indeed superb. 
We are continuing where Mr. 
Pudor left off, and are endeavor- 
ing by rigid selection to build his 
strain of delphiniums as_ he 
would have built it, into a strain 
that will bring joy to the thou- 
sands of delphinium lovers who 
grow them in their gardens.
