MAX SCHLING inc., 24 WEST 59TH STREET, NEW YORK 59 
DELPHINIUM 
Hardy Larkspur 
Stately plants for the border. Their tall spikes 
of bloom rise to a height of 5 and 6 feet and supply 
our gardens with a wealth of handsome flowers. 
Pale blue, azure-blue, gentian-blue, sapphire, and 
royal purple hues are represented. In whatever 
situation they are placed, in groups along walks or 
drives, in the rear of the border, or among shrub- 
bery, they are equally effective. For best results 
they require a rather rich, deeply cultivated soil and 
a good deal of moisture. Frequent watering and a 
mulching are beneficial in a dry time. You may 
prolong the season of bloom by cutting the spikes 
is they are through blooming; others will spring up 
in their place.
