double blue of the most pleasing shade with blooms even larger 
than the double white. A desirable addition to this popular 
class of plants.

From the many varied colors of this old garden favorite we have 
selected the following two as distinct improvements in color,

Set of the three, 
Caryopteris one each, for $1.00. 
Cimicifuga —Snakeroot @ 
Simplex. When first introduced this was erroneously sold under 
the name of Actaea japonica. It is most valuable by reason of its 
extreme late blooming season which begins in September and 
attains full perfection about the middle of October at a time 
when flowers are scarce. The flowering stems are from 2% to 3 
feet high, terminated by a dense spike of white flowers which 
when cut last in perfection a long time. Each $1.00; 3 for $2.75; 
12 for $11.00.

length. Starts flowering about Memorial Day and continues 
throughout June. Each 50c; 3 for $1.40; 12 for $5.50.

Delphinium, Dreer’s De Luxe Hybrids 
Delphinium —Hardy Larkspur © 
Deservedly one of the most popular subjects in the hardy border. 
Bold, attractive, and highly impressive plants of easiest culture. 
They will establish themselves in almost any garden soil but re- 
spond quickly to liberal treatment. Plant early in spring in a 
sunny position. 
Belladonna Improved. 4 ft. The freest and most continuous 
blooming of all, never being out of flower from the end of June 
until cut down by frost. The clear turquoise blue of its blooms 
is not equaled in delicacy and beauty by any other flower. 
Bellamosum. 4 ft. Has the same form, habit of growth, and is 
as free flowering as the light blue Belladonna, but the flowers 
are an intensely rich deep blue. 
Dreer’s De Luxe Hybrids. 5-6 ft. Unquestionably the finest 
strain of mixed hybrids. The plants are of strong, vigorous habit 
with large flowers in spikes two feet long and over, the majority 
running in the lighter shades of blue. 
Any of the above: 
Each 25c; 3 for 70c; 12 for $2.50; 25 for $4.50. 
Delphinium 
White Hybrids (Iceberg) 
Here at last we have a mixture of the much-desired white 
hardy Delphinium. The blooms are semi-double, double, 
or single. They are borne on stems 6 feet tall. Noble garden 
plants of stately height with a grace that makes them most 
desirable for cutting. Of easy culture and most outstanding 
particularly when combined with the blue hybrids. Each 40c; 
3 for $1.15; 12 for $4.00; 25 for $7.50.
