Delphiniums (Hardy Larkspurs) 



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

 effect, and have much value for cutting, especially those of the Belladonna type. They like deep, 

 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 

 advise. 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.

a light alluvial soil, a little loam and peat or leaf-mould, just enough 



to keep the soil light and open, with plenty of moisture. A shady 



position, useless for the cultivation of other plants, is easily trans- 

 formed into a hardy fernery.
