FERRY'S SEEDS 



DELPHINIUM [hP] Hardy Larkspvirs are often the most 

 prized treasures of milady's garden. The dwarf varieties 

 are valuable bedders while the magnificent tall sorts form 

 stately clumps to enrich a shrubberj' background. Above the 

 deeply laciniated dark green leaves rise handsome long floral 

 spikes tightly packed with curiously spurred cornucopia- 

 shaped blossoms. In color they range from rosy-lavender 

 through every shade of blue to deep violet. 

 Dwarf Chinese [2 ft.] A short hardy t>-pe desirable for low 

 borders or even for bedding. It has the merit of reaching 

 its full development the first season from seed started earl}'.

 produce single spurred flowers in rather loose sprays. 

 Azure Fairy Charming soft sky blue. 

 Blue Butterfly Blossoms intense gentian-blue.
