^£W HYBRID DEI.PHINIUMS. 



iHardy Larkspurs.) 



We are again fortunate in hiving secured a supply of the magnificent new 

 Hybrid Hardy Lariispurs offered below, which represent the finest varieties of a 

 famous English collection; and although you cannot depend upon them coming 

 strictly true to name, yet you may rely upon getting some splendid results, pro- 

 ducing 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 1113 plants of most of these 

 grand sorts.

 sky-blue; conspicuous black eye.

2220 Belladonna flybrida. New hybrids of the exquisite turquoise-blue 

 variety, varying in colo» through all the rich dark shades of blue, and
