 especially noteworthy in the singularly pretty color of 

 its flowers. When fully open in sunshine they show a 

 clear, satiny buff or light chamois coloring with a bluish 

 disk, the reverse of the petals being purplish-red, a rare 

 and very striking combination. Plants are 12 to 15 inches

 orange, as well as from rose to blood-red are found, 

 and the size of the flowers and of the individual petals 

 has been increased ovef that of the original Cape Daisy. 

 Especially desirable for cutting. Packet 15c. 

 DELPHINIUM (Perennial Larkspur). 



Toin Tbumb Blue — The long-continued efforts of hybridiz- 

 ers to produce a Delphinium combining a dwarf, bushy 

 habit with profusion and richness of bloom seem to 

 have been crowned with success in this charming 

 species. The plant reaches a height of but 8 inches, is 

 broad and well branched and is completely enveloped 

 in bloom throughout the summer. Blooms the first 

 year from early sown seed. Flowers ultra-marine blue.
