NEW HYBRID DELPHINIUMS. 



(Hardy Larkspurs.) 



We are again fortunate in having secured a supply of the magnificent 

 new Hybrid Hardy Larkspurs offered below, which represent the finest 

 varieties of~aTfamous English collection; and although you cannot depend 

 upon them coming strictly true to name, yet you may rely upon getting 

 some splendid results. Flowers of largest size and equal to the varieties 

 from which the seed has been saved. 



Their culture is fully treated by Mrs. Ely, the author of "A Woman's 

 Hardy Garden," and Mr. W. C. Egan, the eminent amateur, who makes 

 a specialty of hardy plants in general, and Larkspurs in particular. These 

 notes will be found on pages 89 and 213. We also offer on page 213 

 plants of these grand sorts.
