HIGHLIGHT Vour Garden 



For a regal show in June and again in September, there is nothing 

 to compare with the stately splendor of Delphinium. No other 

 perennial can equal its striking form or its richly satisfying range 

 of colors. Delphiniums have a noble dignity that is all their own. 

 Their great blue spires give contrast of both form and color to the 

 other garden plants and so improve the v/hole design. In their 

 season they can "make" a garden, and it is difficult indeed to make 

 a superior perennial garden without them. 



For years, our customers have found that the way to have fine 

 Delphiniums is to start with our young pot-plants. Small young 

 plants, in our experience, will transplant better in spring than large 

 clumps. We are, therefore, prepared to supply our own-grown 

 pot-plants 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. 

 If cut back afterward, they flower again in late summer and fall. 

 At our very low price you can use them in quantity and have a real 

 Delphinium show right in your own garden. 



Not only do the smaller plants cost less, but they will produce 

 better flow^ers and 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 

 these young plants in quantities of less than 6 to an order.) 



DELPHINIUM CULTURE. Plant in deeply spaded, fertile 

 garden soil in a well-drained, sunny location. Set the crown 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 the hybrids at least 18 inches apart. 



HYBRID DELPHINIUMS 



6 for $1.75; 12 for $2.95; 25 for $5.75, postpaid 



We offer here the strains of hybrids that we have found of out- 

 standing quality. The blooms are magnificent, with spikes of 

 flowers often 4 to 5 feet high and under favorable conditions even 

 more. We are now offering Pacific Hybrids in separate color series 

 so, if you wish, you can select your own proportions of the various 

 color tints. 



If you have grown hybrid Delphiniums, you already know how 

 fine they are. If you have never grown them, we suggest you try 

 them.
