Bambusa — Bamboo. 
Including ARUNDINARIA and PHYLLOSTACHYS. 
Bamboos are graceful and elegant Reed-like Grasses of exquisite form, and charming foliage, 
they prefer a rich soil, and are eminently adapted for growing on the margins of streams and iii 
moist boggy places; should be sheltered from cold cutting winds, and mulched every autumn 
with cow manure till thoroughly established. With suitable backgrounds these beautiful plants 
are capable of producing glorious effects.

A full List of Varieties is contained in our Tree and Shrub Catalogue. 
Delphiniums. 
These grand hardy perennials are splendidly showy in the mixed border, while for massing, 
their gorgeous effects are unrivalled. The prevailing colour in the group is blue, which varies 
from the palest lavender through cobalt to deep indigo; but white, primrose, and orange-scarlet 
are represented. The flowers vary considerably in size, some being single, some semi-double, and 
others again perfectly double and imbricated. The spikes range in length from 1 ft. to 31 ft., and. 
almost all the varieties mentioned below produce lateral spikes most freely. They grow well, so 
long as they are not dry, in any ordinary deeply-worked soil, but prefer one that is cool, moist, , 
and rich. They at all times show a generous appreciation for liberal treatment. Top dressings 
of manure in the spring or early summer keep the soil moist and cool, and encourage a vigorous! 
but floriferous growth, especially when accompanied by a dressing of Clibrans’ Phosphate Manure 
at the rate of 1 oz. to the square yard. By regularly cutting off the spikes as the flowers begin to 
wither, they may be had continuously in bloom for many months. A selection from the following 
varieties will ensure a floral display from early June till late September, treated as advised. 
New Variety — “Clibrans’ Blue.” 
A lovely Larkspur, producing spikes of bright blue flowers; of dwarf, bushy branching 
habit, vigorous and very free ; height about 2J ft. to 3 ft. For massing, forming beds, and 
planting in borders it is most useful. Price 3/6 each.
