SEEDX >HlLMlEliI'lM]k\ 57 DREER'S LOVELY ANNUAL LARKSPURS The Annual Larkspurs share almost equally the popularity of the Hardy Perennial sorts or Delphiniums, as they are usually called, so as not to get them confounded with the annual class. The annuals have the advantage of flowering within 3 months from the time of sowing, and of a fairly large range of colors, 6 of which is illustrated on the colored plate opposite, and are very true representations except- ing No. 2932, Ageratum Blue, which has not been exactly reproduced, and which is a good clear mid-blue. Seed may be started indoors or in a hotbed, and the seedlings transplanted to the open when weather conditions are favorable, but it is just as well to sow them outdoors where they are intended to bloom. The plants grow 3 feet or more in height, and should not be doser than 12 inches apart, each plant producing several spikes of flowers, and if these are cut ofE when they begin to set seed, the plants win continue in bloom from side branches almost up to the time of frost. They can be used in many ways in the garden, as in lines, beds, or groups of any size, or interspersed in the Hardy Border, and as cut flowers are not excelled by any other annual.
