Hybrid Delphiniums 



Cromwell Gardens Strain 

 Commencing with the finest named varieties avail- 

 able and selecting seed from the finest types only, wo. 

 have developed a strain of hybrids that are superior in 

 every respect to named varieties, -which must be in- 

 creased by division and soon deteriorate, lacking the 

 vigor and robust constitution of a seedling plant. 



This strain produces magnificent, sturdy spikes, 

 often attaining a height of 7 feet and ranging in 

 color from light to very deep blue with contrasting 

 centers. The lighter shades are predominant and a 

 good percentage will produce double or semi-double 

 flowers. Each Doz. 100

Belladonna 



This lovel}' Larkspur is, in habit and gro\\"th, inter- 

 mediate between the Chinese species and the larger 

 flowered.type found in the Cromwell Gardens Hybrids, 

 producing numerous, graceful spikes averaging feet 

 in height. The individual flo\\ ers are of good size and 

 are not too closely arranged to form an elegant spike. 

 The color is an exquisite shade of azure-blue, enhanced 

 with a distinct silvery white eye. 



Owing to its unusual freedom and charming color, 

 it is extremely desirable for cutting, and equally useful 

 for garden effects. Each Doz. loo

Bella-mosa 



A new introduction of merit — evidently the result 

 of crossing Belladonna and Formosum — having the 

 fine, dark blue color of the latter with the habit of 

 growth and free-flowering qualities of the former. We 

 consider it a fine acquisition and offer it in place of 

 the dark blue Belladonna which it will supersede.

Chinense 



A comparatively dwarf species from China, flower- 

 ing profusely from June until late fall. In color it is a 

 rich. Gentian blue, particularly effective when planted 

 in groups or colonies. The dainty, feathery foliage 

 renders it attractive when not in bloom. It is im- 

 portant that the spikes should be cut close to the 

 ground after flowering, to prevent seeding and induce 

 a new gro\\'th.

 A pure white form of the preceding kind, possibly a 

 trifle stronger in growth. Equally desirable in every
