Delphinium (Hardy Larkspurs) 



These are deservedly one of the most popular subjects in the 



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



establish themselves in almost any garden soU, but respond quickly 



to liberal treatment. 



Belladonna. The freest and most continuous blooming of all. 

 The clear turquoise-blue of its flowers is unequalled for delicacy 

 and beauty. 



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 and other good qualities, 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. 



Gold Medal Hybrids. Unquestionably the finest strain of 

 mixed Hybrids ever offered. The plants are of strong, vigorous 

 habit, with large flowers. 



25cts. each; S2.50per doz.; $15.00 per 100. Set of 5 sorts for $1.00. 



Dielytra or Dicentra 



SpectabiliS (Bleeding Heart or Seal Flower). An old-fashioned 

 favorite; its long racemes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers 

 are always attractive: it is used largely for forcing; and is 

 perfectly at home in any part of the hardy border, and especially 

 valuable for planting in the shade. (See cut.) Strong clumps, 

 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Formosa (Plumy Bleeding Heart). A dwarfer-growing species, 

 with finely-cut ornamental foliage, growing about 15 inches high 

 and producing its showy pink flowers from April to August. 

 30 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.
