EVERY WOMAN HER OWN FLOWER GARDENER. 81 



Delphiniums, or Hardy Perennial Larkspurs, 



Are among the finest of this class of plants, and if the seed-pods are cut 

 off, will continue in flower from July to November. They will also 

 flower the first year if sown early in hot-bed, and are very desirable 

 for late blooming. They grow readily from seed or from the increase 

 of the root. The shades of blue are unsurpassed by any other flower 

 of similar color. 



Delphinium Formosum is of the brightest blue with a white center. 



D. Mons. Neuner, pale blue. 



D. Chinensi Pumilum, azure blue. 



D. Alba, paper white.
