The Stately Beauty of 
English Delphiniums 
A Garden Magazine author, not so long ago, called the 
Delphiniums the Spires and Minarets of the Garden and 
we believe, with him, that a more inspiring sight is diffi- 
cult to discover than a well-planted border of these 
impressive blue flowers. Delphiniums are among the 
most beautiful hardy plants and nothing can be more 
distinct and satisfactory. They are stately and pictur- 
esque, some varieties growing 8 feet high in rich soil; 
they have immense spikes of most beautiful flowers of 
every imaginable shade of blue, and their season is a 
long one; in fact, they will bloom from spring till 
fall if properly treated.
