(see Illustration'). — The greatest 
acquisition in blue annual flowers 
for many years. The Royal Horti- 
cultural Society, when granting it the 
Award of Merit, stated in their 
report that it is a dainty annual of 
bushy branching habit, and very 
floriferous.” The seed should be 
sown early, in heat, and grown on in 
pots until ready for bedding out. 
Late sowings do not make effective 
plants until too late in the season.

The Perennial Delphi- 
niums are best sown in summer, as 
they then make strong plants to flower 
following season. They can also be sown 
early in spring, and are very effective in 
borders during the early summer the 
following year.
