DELPHINIUMS 



(Hardy Larkspurs) 



These are the handsomest blue flowers for the 

 garden. They are unsurpassed in decorative 

 effect, and have much value for cutting, espe- 

 cially those of the Belladonna type. They like 

 deep, rich soil and plenty of lime. Give them 



bone-meal in early spring and again after their 



first flowering, but do not cut them to the ground 



when the first flowers have faded, as so many 



people advise. Merely remove the seed-pods and 



upper portion of the stalk. The new growth from 



the ground will soon cover the cut ends and old 



leaves and give a fine second crop of bloom. 



Hollyhock Strain. Magnificent new race 

 of Hardy Larkspurs producing enormous spikes 

 of bloom in many new and lovely shades. The 

 flowers are very large and come in both single 

 and double forms. The plants branch freeh- 

 and continue to flower all summer. $1.00 

 each; $9.00 for 10; $80.00 per 100.
