pVLLYLLtlYVL HARDY LARKSPUR (P) 



The modern Delphiniums are unquestionably the most majestic of all hardy garden 

 flowers. Many lovely garden pictures can be produced by combining them with other 

 plants, as, for instance. Madonna Lilies. Delphinium seed may be sown over an ex- 

 tended period of time. Some growers prefer to start their seed in flats during the month 

 of February. This permits transplanting the seedlings to the garden in late spring, and 

 frequently a small flower spike is obtained before winter sets in. The following year 

 they develop their full glory. Many gardeners start the seed in a small outdoor seed 

 bed in April. Good results are also obtained by sowing the seed in a cold frame during 

 the months of July and August. 



2090 Giant Single and Double Hybrids. A splen- 

 did race of these popular hardy, garden plants. 

 The blossoms are of immense size, single and 

 double, borne on towering spikes from 2 to 5 feet 

 of their length. The colors are white, lavender, 

 blue, azure, indigo and purple, several shades 

 being blended in some of the varieties. The 

 plants grow from 4 to 6 feet in height. In mix- 

 ture only Per 1000 seeds, $1.00; pkt., 25c
