WHAT TO PLANT „„^ 



COLOB HMQHT 



Delphinium, Hybrid. Lovely shades of blue. 



Blue Delphinium formosum, var. ccelestinum, also bella- 4 ft. 

 donna: Oriental Larkspur. Deep to light blue, not so 

 tall. Also new white variety. 



■^^ite Delphinium grandiflorum, var. album, 2 to 3 feet. 2-3 ft. 

 Delphiniums need weU-drained, rich soil, not too 

 clayey. Keep manure from contact with roots and 

 sprinkle coal ashes around base of stalk in November 

 to protect it from insect enemies. Plant in garden 

 in second year. Cut back to ground each fading 

 flower-stalk and apply liquid sheep's manure in mid- 

 summer to insure strength for later blooms. If the 

 large Delphiniums are allowed to flower three times 

 during the season without ample nourishment to sustain 

 vigor, they may die out that fall. When plant begins 

 to deteriorate, divide it as early as possible in spring.
