FERRY'S SEEDS 



DELPHINIUM [hP] One of the greatest charms of hardy 

 larkspurs is in their shades of blue which range from soft ' 

 rosy lavender to violet and deepest indigo. The dwarfs are 

 valuable in the border while the magnificent tall varieties 

 are stately and beautiful in front of a shrubbery back- 

 ground. Above the deeply cut dark green leaves rise long 

 floral spikes. These are composed of blossoms shaped like 

 tiny cornucopias. 



Dwarf Chinese [2 ft.] A short hardy type desirable for low 

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

 its full development the first season from seed started early. 

 The plants are dainty in form with cosmos-hke foliage and 

 produce single spurred flowers in rather loose sprays. 



Azure Fairy Charming soft sky blue. 



Blue Butterfly Blossoms intense gentian-blue. 

 Each of the above: J^ oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



Tall Hybrids [5 ft.] Handsome tall sorts adapted to back- 

 grounds in the hardy border. The long stalks are well 

 decorated with broad, deeply cut, bright green leaves and 

 carry long floral spikes. Plants grown from early sown seed 

 will flower late the first season but reach their full develop- 

 ment the second year and thereafter. A fine succession of 

 spikes may be expected if they are kept cut as they fade.
