For vivid garden pictures, plant Delphiniums 

 For the best Delphiniums you ever saw, plant these Star quality pot plants of 



HYBRID DELPHINIUMS 



Nothing can surpass the stately splendor of Del- 

 phiniums in a garden, when in bloom in June and again 

 in September. No other flower can equal its striking 

 form or its richly satisfying range of colors. Delphin- 

 iums have a noble dignity that is all their own. Their 

 great blue spires give contrast of both form and color 

 to most other garden plants and so add interest to 

 the whole design. 



Over the years, more and more of our customers 

 have found that the way to have impressive Delphin- 

 iums is to start with our young pot plants. Small young 

 plants, in our experience, will transplant better in 

 spring than large clumps and will live and bloom longer 

 after planting, with better flowers. We can also pro- 

 duce them at less cost than for older clumps and so 

 give you a better value at a lower price. 



Planted in April or May, these young plants will 

 bloom in late summer and autumn and be at their 

 best the following June when their finest spikes should 

 be produced. If cut back afterward, they flower again 

 in late summer and fall. We have set out thousands of 

 these small plants with such splendid results that we 

 do not hesitate to recommend them to you. 



For an especially delightful garden picture, try plant- 

 ing groups of Regal and Speciosum Lilies in front of a 

 wide planting of these Delphiniums. 



NOTE: Because we have kept the price low, we 

 cannot supply these Delphinium plants in quantities 

 of less than 6 to an order, or 3 of the Astolat. At these 

 low prices, however, you can afford to plant them in 

 quantity and have a real Delphinium show right in 

 your own garden. 



DELPHINIUM CULTURE: Plant in deeply spaded, 

 fertile garden soil in a well-drained, sunny location. 

 Set the crown of the plant level with the surface of the 

 bed and do not use manure where it will touch the 

 roots; lime well mixed with the soil is usually beneficial. 

 Space all these hybrids at least 18 inches apart.
