Hardy Ferns for Shady Places 



Delohinium ^ella^o^^a, the Everblooming Hardy Larksptir. (Illustrated 



— above.) 2-3 ft. 6-10 mo. Flowers are clear turquoise-blue. This 



variety is seldom out of bloom from the end of June until frost. Blue flowers are 

 scarce, therefore this lovely Larkspur is more than welcome for the hardy gar- 

 den. It is especially valuable on account of its long season of bloom. The 

 beautiful turquoise-blue spikes added to a vase of pink roses make a beautiful 

 bouquet. 35 cts. each, 6 for $1.50. 

 D. formosum. 2-3 ft. 6-10 mo. Everblooming. Flowers dark blue. A lovely 

 companion for the light blue Belladonna. Stake up the spikes as they grow to 

 prevent them being beaten down by wind or heavy rain. 35 cts. each, 6 for $1.50. 

 Digitalis (Foxglove). 3 ft. 7 mo. (See illustration above.) The bold, pointed 



— ^ racemes of cone-shaped flowers are odd and attractive. This is a real 



old-fashioned flower that requires little care. It makes luxuriant masses of 

 foliage and the tall flowering spikes look like towers of bells. This is one of the 

 few flowers that do well in a shady place. Mixed colors only. 35 cts. each.

 M ! leaves 4 to 5 feet long. Pinkish colored, plume-Iike seed-
