Delphiniums (Hardy Larkspur) 



These are deservedly among the most popular subjects in the 

 hardy border; of easiest culture; perfectly hardy. They will 

 establish themselves in almost any garden soil, but respond quickly 

 to liberal treatment. 

 Belladonna Improved. The freest blooming of all, never 



being out of flower from the end of June until cut down by hard 



frost. The clear turquoise blue of its flowers is not equaled for 



delicacy and beauty by any other flower. 

 Bellamosum. This is a dark blue form of the popular light 



blue Belladonna, with which it is identical in habit of growth, 



freedom of bloom, but with intensely rich, deep blue flowers. 

 Chinense. A very pretty dwarf species, with fine feathery 



foliage and intense gentian-blue flowers in open panicles. 

 — Album. A pure white form of the above. 

 Price. Except where noted, 25 cts. each; $2,50 per doz.; $15.00 



per 100.

 tember, deliciously fragrant; 2 to 3 feet. 



Recta. Grows from 2 to 3 feet high, and produces fragrant pure white flowers 

 in very large, showy clusters during June and July. 

 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



CoriVallaria (Lily of the VaUey) 



Majalis. This is often starved and relegated to some poor, out-of-the-way 

 corner; but this popular and fragrant subject, like raost^other plants, 

 repays for being well treated, and if the bed is given a liberal top-dressing 

 of well-decayed manure in taU or early spring, it will show the effect by 

 increased size, number and vigor of the flowers. We offer strong clumps, 

 especially suited for outdoor planting. 60 cts. each; $6.00 per doz.; $45.00 

 per 100.

 sized pink flowers in June and July; especially suited for the rock garden.

 crimson double flowers throughout the entire season; 8 to 10 inches high.

 ducing deep rose colored flowers in June. 3 to 4 inches. 50 cts. each.
