The loveliest 
DELPHINIUMS 
For a Regal Show 
June and September 
For a regal show there is nothing to compare with the 
stately splendor of Delphiniums. These aristocratic flowers 
will provide the high-spot in your garden. They bloom in 
June and if cut back afterward will usually flower again in 
late summer and autumn. Plant the Belladonna type for 
quantity of bloom. The hybrids are of magnificent quality, 
with spikes often 4 to 5 feet high and under favorable con- 
ditions even more. 
It is our experience that, in spring, small young plants will 
transplant better than large clumps and we are therefore pre- 
pared to supply them at a great saving in cost. Planted in April 
and May, they will bloom in late summer and autumn and be 
at their best the following June when their finest spikes should 
be produced. At our very low price for these smaller plants 
you can use them in quantity and have a reai Delphinium 
show right in your own garden. Not only do the smaller 
plants cost less, but they will produce flowers and will live 
longer than older clumps. We have set out thousands of these 
small plants with such splendid results that we do not hesitate 
to recommend them to you. (Note: Because we have kept the 
price low, we cannot supply less than 6 of a kind of these young 
plants.) 
DELPHINIUM CULTURE. Plant in deeply spaded, fertile 
garden soil in a well-drained, sunny location. Set the crown of 
of the plant level with the soil and do not use manure where it 
will touch the roots; lime well mixed with the soil is usually 
beneficial. Space hybrids at least 18 inches apart and the 
Belladonna type 12 to 15 inches apart. 
For a particularly brilliant and striking garden picture, 
plant groups of Delphinium in back of the gold, copper, and 
bronze of Daylilies. Delphinium and Regal Lilies make an- 
other combination that is breath-takingly lovely.

We offer here four strains of hybrids which we have found 
of outstanding quality. The blooms are magnificent, with 
spikes of double flowers often 4 to 5 feet high and under 
favorable conditions even more. If you have grown hybrids, 
we do not have to tell you how fine they are; if you have never 
grown them, we suggest you try them. For striking effect 
plant a quantity. 
Blackmore & Langdon Hybrids. See illustration. To 
our mind this is the finest strain of English hybrids. Colors 
range from deep violet down to the palest lavender, with all 
the tints imaginable modifying these colors; every flower has 
a lovely “‘bee.’’ Flowers are closely set on strong spikes 4 to 
5 feet_high.
