DELPHINIUMS (Hardy Larkspurs) 



These are the handsomest blue flowers for the garden. They are unsurpassed in decorative

 rich soil and plenty of lime. Give them bone-meal in early spring and again after their first 

 flowering, but do not cut them to the ground when the first flowers have faded, as so many people 

 ad'vise. Merely remove the seed-pods and upper portion of the stalk. The new growth from the 

 ground will soon cover the cut ends and old leaves and give a fine second crop of bloom.
