[How Does Your Garden Grow Excerpt] Delphinium II
Date Of Production
circa 1952
Abstract
An excerpt from an episode of John Nash Ott's weekly television program How Does Your Garden Grow?, focusing on growing and caring for delphinium.
Description
This brief excerpt shows Ott as he handles a flower box filled with soil.
In the complete episode, Ott demonstrates his techniques for planting, caring for and transplanting seedlings, controlling delphinium-loving pests, cutting the flowers in order to preserve them and supplying winter protection. He quizzically describes delphinium as "dolled-up larkspur," and compares it to "Suzie Slapsaddle" who goes to Hollywood to become a glamor doll, and changes her name to "Suzan Harvard."
