DORONICUM 



Delphinium (Hardy Larkspur) 



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 soil, but respond 

 quickly to liberal treatment. 

 Belladonna Improved. The freest and most continuous 



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 equalled 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 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. 



Dreer'S De Luxe Hybrids. Unquestionably the finest strain of mixed Hybrids 



ever offered. The plants are of strong, vigorous habit, with large flowers. 

 Price. Any of the above, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. One each 



of the 5 varieties for $1.10.

 Arenarius. (Sand Pink). Deeply cut white flowers on stems 6 to 12 inches high 



during June and July. A good plant for the rock garden. 

 Caesius (Cheddar Pink). Forms compact cushions of blue gray foliage and 



sweetly scented, rose-pink flowers in May and June; fine for the rock garden.

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



— Alba. A pretty white flowered form.

A beautiful summer bedding variety, producing masses of brilliant fiery crimson 



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

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

DictamnUS (Gas Plant) 

 Fraxinella. A very showy border perennial, forming a bush about 2\ feet in 



height, having fragrant foliage and spikes of rosy-pink flowers with deeper 



veins during June and July. 



— Alba. The white flowered variety of above. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz. 



Dielytra, or Dicentra 



Spectabilis (Bleeding Heart, or Seal Flower). An old-fashioned favorite; 

 its long racemes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers are always attrac- 

 tive; 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. 

 May. 15 to 18 inches. Strong clumps, 50 cts. each; $5.00 per doz.; 

 $40.00 per 100.

 vigorous habit attaining a height of from 5 to 7 feet with spikes of bloom 

 4 feet in length, closely set with flowers of unusual size ranging in color 

 from purest white to deepest rose, handsomely spotted with crimson- 

 maroon and chocolate. We offer them in mixture only. 25 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100. 



Doronicum (Leopard's Bane) 



Excelsum. Large bright yellow flowers and one of the most effective very 

 early spring flowering perennials. There are many who have only seen 

 this as a single plant, here or there in a hardy border, and have no idea 

 of the effect it has when planted in a mass. It is also a splendid flower for 

 cutting, as it carries well and stands a long time in water, opening out 

 morning after morning. They succeed everywhere. 1J to 2 feet. 35 cts. 

 each; $3.50 per doz.

thistle-like heads are of glistening amethystine-blue. 3 feet.

toothed foliage and pale blue globular flower heads.
