DELPHINIUMS (Gordy Larkspnrs). 
These are deservedly one of the most popular subjects in the hardy 
border, bold, attractive and highly prepossessing plants of easiest cul- 
ture; perfectly hardy. They will establish themselves in almost any. 
garden soil, but respond quickly to liberal treatment. Plant early im 
spring in well-enriched, deep soil in a sumny position. Cut out the 
old flower spikes as soom as they have finished flowering, and an all- 
most continuous display of bloom willl be the result. In color they 
range through all the shades of blue fom the palest to the deepest, 
with many differemt markings; also vihite and yellow.
