Delphinium 



— Hardy LaxUspUX — Perennial 



Among the most beautiful and popular hardy plants for garden and cutting. 

 Easily grown, doing best in deep, rich soil which must be well-drained. Bloom 

 in June and, if spikes are cut off a few inches above the ground after blooming, 

 new spikes will be produced — usually three different crops in one season. Plants 

 will flower the first season if seed is started early indoors.
