iniUm (Hardy Larkspur) 



The culture of Delphiniums is exceedingly simple. 

 They thrive in almost any position, a rich, friable loam 

 suits them finely; but any soil, even hot and sandy, 

 if well watered and manured, will give excellent re- 

 sults. Placed in lines, as a background to a border, 

 or in groups of, say, three plants at intervals, the 

 effect of the Delphinium is exceedingly fine. A suc- 

 cession of flowers may be expected from spring to 

 early autumn, especially if the spikes which have 

 flowered early are cut down to the ground; fresh 

 growth will then be produced which will give blossoms. 

 "Watering in summer will increase size of spike and 

 flower. Plants increase in size and in beauty year 

 after year.

Buddleia, Variabilis Magnifica 



(Everblooming Butterfly Bush or Summer Lilac) 



The above names are applied to this plant because the flowers resemble those of 

 the Lilac and attracts butterflies in large numbers, particularly the large and gorge- 

 ously colored ones which swarm about it as though vying with it in brilliancy of 

 color. The long, graceful stems terminate in tapering panicles of beautiful lilac- 

 colored flowers that are of miniature size and borne by the hundreds on a flower 

 head which is frequently 12 to 15 inches long. Begins to bloom in July and continues 

 till severe frost. Succeeds everywhere; flowers freely the first year. Really a shrub, 

 but the top usually freezes back and new growth starts from the root like other 

 perennials. If tops do not freeze back, the plant should be severely pruned each 

 spring before growth starts.
