FOR twenty-five years we have been urging the many advantages of gardening with Hardy Plants, and now that these advantages are prettv gener- 

 ally recognized we wish to call attention to some of the better varieties which are not well known. Everybody knows about the good qualities of 

 Paeonies, Phloxes, and Hollyhocks, but there are scores of plants equally as good which are comparatively unknown. Among the best of these are 

 the superb English Delphiniums. Tall, stately and picturesque in habit, they produce immense spikes of flowers of every imaginable shade of blue for a 

 very long season during the summer. The colors are often combined with various shades of bronze, sometimes with white eyes, and the range of colors 

 includes plums, purples, white, and primrose yellow. The flower spikes are sometimes two feet in length, and the variety and combination coloring is 

 lovely beyond description. The plants range from three to seven feet in height and will thrive in any soil except in a very light and sandy one, and even 

 in this if it is liberally enriched with well-rotted cow manure. We have the best and the only good collection of English Delphiniums in America. Thev 

 are grown from the finest collections in England.
