Delphiniums 



Blackmore & Langdon Hybrids 



See illustration below 



After years of testing many famous strains of Del- 

 phinium, we have finally settled down to Blackmore & 

 Langdon's, and get fresh seed each year, to maintain 

 highest quality. They have proved strong, healthy plants 

 with long spikes of flowers, so beautiful that adequate 

 description requires more adjectives than we know. From 

 single to double, from deep violet down to the palest 

 lavender, with all the tints imaginable modifying these 

 colors; every flower has a lovely "bee" and many are 

 deliciously fragrant. 



Plants cut back after the first bloom have produced 

 wonderful spikes again in September. Get acquainted with 

 these in your own garden and you will share our enthu- 

 siasm. 50 cts. each; 3 for $1.35; 12 for $5, postpaid. 



Natural 



WREXHAM STRAIN. The Hollyhock type, with its 

 long, tapering spikes of extra-large flowers in a wide 

 range of shades. Named varieties of this strain sell for 

 several dollars each, but we believe that these seedlings 

 will produce as desirable flowers as the named varieties. 

 50 cts. each; 3 for $1.35; 12 for $5, postpaid. 



BELLADONNA (Everblooming Hardy Larkspur). 



The most continuous blooming Delphinium and the

 4 feet. June to October. Charming when arranged in 

 vases with Chatillon Roses. 30 cts. each; 3 for 75 cts.;

Hardy Asters 



ASTER FRIKARTI, Wonder of Staefa. See illus- 

 tration above. A new Hybrid Aster originated by M. 

 Frikart, of Staefa, Switzerland. One of the finest 

 perennials introduced in recent years. The bushy 

 plants, which grow about 2 feet tall and more in diam 

 eter, have proved hardy with sub-zero temperatures 

 The sky-blue or pale vioIet-blue flowers are from 1}/2 

 to 3 inches in diameter, single, with 35 to 50 narrow 

 petals, and deliciously fragrant. They last a long time 

 on the plant and are wonderful cut-flowers. Just 

 visualize hundreds of long-stemmed blooms, lighter 

 blue and more perfect than our iUustration, on one 

 plant, and you will reahze why almost everyone who 

 sees this wonderful new Aster wants it in his own 

 garden. Bloom starts early in summer and keeps up 

 continuously until frost. 50c. ea.; 3 for $1.35; 12 for $5. 



NEW DWARF HARDY ASTERS

 by H. V. Yokes to provide masses of bloom with 

 little care for the 750,000 British war graves in 

 France. Available for the first time this year in the 

 United States. 



These new Asters vary in height from 6 to 12 

 inches (see descriptions below) and make mound- 

 like plants which are hidden beneath a solid mass of 

 bloom. The flowers are single and about an inch 

 across. These Asters provide something really new 

 for your perennial border and rock-garden.
