 from white and lavender through every shade of blue 

 from azure to indigo and purple, several shades 

 being blended in some of the varieties. The 

 plants grow from 6 to 10 feet in height and are very 

 desirable and valuable in the garden during the 

 spring and early summer. These improved hybrids 

 should, to get the best effect, be planted in groups 

 dotted here and there at intervals in the herbaceous 

 border. The lighter colors look particularly well 

 when planted in front of shrubbery where they will 

 be thrown into strong relief. Delphiniums are also 

 very beautiful for house decoration shown in vases.
