Dreer's DeLuxe Hybrid Delphiniums 



2245 The past season we grew a large lot of the world's choicest 

 named varieties of hybrid Delphiniums secured without re- 

 gard to cost from the most noted European and American 

 specialists. The results obtained were really marvelous; the 

 plants were of strong, vigorous habit with large spikes of 

 enormous flowers in every shade of blue from the palest 

 lavender to the richest oxford-blue as well as a number of 

 pastel shades. Fully one-third were double-flowering and 

 mostly with white centre or eye, but with a fair percentage 

 having the dark or bee centre. A really exquisite strain that 

 is sure to produce results to please the most critical grower of 

 this popxilar favorite. Illustrated on page 83. 35 cts. per

Giant Shirley Foxgloves (Digitalis) 



2361 This magnificent strain was raised by the late Rev. W. Wilks, 

 to whom we are also indebted for the Shirley Poppies, and is 

 unquestionably the greatest improvement ever made in 

 Foxgloves. The very vigorous plants attain a height of 5 to 

 7 feet, with spikes of bloom 4 feet in length, closely set with 

 flowers of unusual size, ranging in color from the purest 

 white to dark rose, handsomely spotted and blotched with 

 crimson, maroon, and chocolate. This is certain to supersede 

 all other strains of Foxgloves. Seed sown this spring will 

 produce plants that will make a glorious show next season.
