DELPHINIUM 



, HARDY LARKSPUR 



HENDERSON'S SINGLE AND DOUBLE 



Superb Hybrids 



(Shown in colors on opposite page) 



2090 A splendid race of these popular hardy garden plants. The blossoma 

 are of immense size, single, semi-double and double, dressing the grace- 

 ful, towering spikes for from 2 to 5 feet of their length. The colors range 

 from white and lavender through every snade of blue from azure to 

 indigo and purple, several shades being blended in some of the varie- 

 ties. The plants grow from 6 to 10 feet in height and are very desirable 

 and valuable in the garden during the spring and early summer. These 

 improved hybrids should, to get the beat effect, be planted in groups 

 dotted here and there at intervals in the herbaceous border. The lighter 

 ; colors look particularly well when planted in front of shrubbery where 

 ► they will be thrown into strong relief. Delphiniums are also very 

 beautiful for house decoration shown in vases. By cutting off the 

 spikes immediately after flowering, these Delphiniums may be had in 

 bloom for several months. o 



Note. — The seed should be soaked in hike warm water for two hours 

 before sowing to hasten germination.

"Blue Lace Flower" 



(Shown in colors on opposite page) 



2155 None of the easily grown garden annuals have within recent years 

 attained greater popularity than the Blue Lace Flower. It is exten- 

 sively grown by cut flower growers, in the vicinity of New York to 

 supply the fashionable Fifth Avenue trade. The Blue Lace Flower 

 was introduced into the United States from Australia and is a welcome 

 addition to our garden annuals. The plants grow about 2 feet high, 

 producing graceful subdivided foliage. The lovely, umbel-shaped 

 flowers, which are composed of a great number of small florets, 

 range from 2 to 3 inches across. The color is the most beautiful 

 imaginable, a clear, cerulean or heavenly blue — a rare and beautiful 

 shade. 



The Blue Lace Flower is of easiest culture. Seed sown outdoors after 

 danger from frost will produce plants which should bloom continu- 

 ously from July to October. It may be grown in the greenhouse or 

 conservatory for winter blooming. It is also desirable as a got 

 plant. Price per pkt. 25o.
