QAILLARDIA 



DELPHINIUM — Perennial Larkspur. 



A most attractive perennial, which should never be denied a place in 

 the garden. The long spikes of handsome flowers are very freely 

 produced from early summer till late in fall, care being taken, how- 

 ever, to remove all seed pods. They are exceedingly useful for 

 cutting. Very choice Mixed Hybrid Varieties, each 25c; per doz $2.50 



D. Belladonna — 2 feet. Of all the blue-flowered hardy border plants in 

 cultivation this superb variety of Larkspur is unquestionably one of 

 the best and is very popular. The flowers are very abundantly pro- 

 duced continuously throughout the summer season. Color a clear 

 turquoise blue. Each 30c; per doz $3.00 



DICTAMNUS — Gas Plant. 



Strong-growing, handsome 

 plants of easy culture; the 

 varieties we name being most 

 interesting — 



D. Fraxinella Rubra — 3 feet, 

 May. Foliage showy and 

 fragrant; flowers purplish 

 red, produced in large 

 spikes, which are very at- 

 tractive. These in hot, 

 sultry weather give off a 

 peculiar and very inflamma- 

 ble gas, which ignites with 

 a flash when a match is ap- 

 plied.

 but produces pure white 

 flowers. 

 Each 20c; per doz. $2.00.
