DELPHINIUMS 
The Pacific Giant Delphiniums are very 
good in the colder sections, even up into 
Canada but for the South they are dis- 
appointing; use Belladonna type in zone 7-9. 
The English Delphiniums are not especially 
good in the U. S. A. 
FELICIA 
The Kingfisher Daisy; it has become more 
popular in recent years but still not grown 
as much as it deserves. 
The species F. Bergeriana is a very at- 
tractive annual, almost creeping in habit 
and bearing bright blue flowers with golden 
centers. Try it in the rock garden or for 
edging. 
If you have a greenhouse, lift some of the 
perennial species in the fall and winter in- 
doors, when they flower in the early spring. 
SILENE ALPESTRIS 
It forms a fairly compact growth of very 
sticky stems and bearing long narrow leaves 
of bright green and ending by branching and 
carrying pure white flowers with jagged 
petal edges, that give it a most dainty effect. 
It is native of the Carpathian and Tyrol 
in limestone soils. 
GERMINATING EUPHORBIA 
Euphorbias are lime haters. It is said 
they should not be watered with well-water 
due to the lime content; use only rain water 
that has been heated to 95 degrees Far. 
They germinate up to 90%. 
We have no personal experience in this 
and it would be interesting to hear from 
readers who have had practical experience 
with this genus 
Gathering Seed 
Harvesting seeds sometimes can be made 
work but as a rule it is very easily done. On 
seeds that have a dry shell or seed-coat, all 
that is necessary is to wait till the seed has 
matured, but not too much; then after noon, 
pick the pods or stems and place in an 
ordinary paper sack. Do not pack them 
in tightly; if the stems or pods are rather 
green it will be best to punch seleral holes 
in the bag with a pencil, so that air will cir- 
culate freely. Then set the bag up on a 
or table in a shady building so that the air 
can get to it. In a week or two, the seed is 
dry enough to clean; if left too long some 
seeds, especially those in tight pods, are 
liard to get clean. 
Mice will cat many seeds so it may be 
necessary to put the seed up so they cannot 
get to them while drying. 
Seeds in berries, like the Cotoneasters, 
Barberry, etc. can be dried or cleaned. It 
usually is best to clean them and this should 
be done as soon as picked. If the seed 
coat is rather hard, it will be all right to 
just run a piece of a board over them; an 
unplaned board is best. Do not press down 
very hard but just enough so that the pulp is 
broken; then place in a crock or wooden 
pale (away from metal), cover with water 
and let stand a couple of days, where it is 
warm, so that it will ferment; the hotte it is 
the sooner the seed should be washed, don’t 
over do it. Drain off the water by tipping, 
the container over—after stirring it so 
as to raise the pulp—and thus wash the 
pulp off that is on top. Put clean water 
on the seed and repeat till the pulp has all 
been washed off; poor undeveloped seed 
will come to the top with the pulp and should, 
be drained off too. Then the clean seed 
should be placed on cloth and dried well; 
never place in the direct sun as the seed will 
lose its color. . 
Seeds that are in the form of nuts should 
not be allowed to dry out completely but 
while they should be well dried before plac- 
ing in a container, they should be watched as 
they mould easily. It sending this type of 
seed to us, they should always be shipped 
in an open mesh burlap bag. 
There are some seeds that snap out of 
their pods as soon as ripe; Pansy, Euphordia 
and such flowers do this and one has to 
pick these pods a little on the green side and 
so as not to lose any, this should be done 
in the mornings. Seed that shells out of 
their pods, will have to be watched; if in a 
paper bag, then not too many and the bag 
should be shaken to stir the seeds; seed in 
water, fermenting, should be stirred once 
or twice a day. 
Seed that is being saved for us, should be 
sent in as soon as it dry enough to mail. 
We will furnish shipping bags, etc., if you 
will advise us. 
There are many beautiful flowers that seed 
can be gotten only from sections where the 
right insect is present for fertiliation; thus 
we have to locate flower growers who have 
these flowers growing in their yards; it 
hardly pays to depend on any one going any 
distance for the seed. We all seem to be too 
busy these days and it usually is inconveni- 
ent to make trips away from home. Re- 
member a very common native may be a 
real popular flower in another part of the 
world and it often happens that some native 
flower is considered an invasive weed while 
in a different climate it it just the opposite. 
Seed that is gathered for us need not be 
cleaned; we have the necessary machines and 
screens for this work. The main point is 
to gather ripe seeds; dry it enough so that 
it will not spoil and be sure of the correct 
name; if there is any doubt, then a good 
description should be given and location of 
plants mentioned. If they are growing in 
ones garden, then they could be one of 
many species but if it is a native wild species 
this gets it identification down to a few.
