ndividual blossoms are of immense size, semidouble and perfectly 

 double, dressing the graceful, towering spikes for from 2 to 5 feet of their length. The 

 colors and shades are wonderfully lovely and varied, ranging from pure white and most 

 chaste lavender up through every conceivable shade of blue to deep indigo and purple; 

 several shades being blended in some of the varieties. The plants are tall growers, 

 from 6 to 10 feet in height; there are but few plants that contribute so much to 

 the beauty of garden or herbaceous border. By cutting of the spikes immediately after 

 flowering, these Delphiniums ma.v be had in bloom for several months.

 double, and are produced in perfect

 versity of colors, from purest satiny 

 white to red shades so deep and

 scarcely penetrate their velvety 

 depths; soft pinks and flesh tints 

 more dainty than brush could lay; 

 and a large proportion of flowers 

 hieroglypliically marked with vari- 

 ous hues, the delicate tints and deep
