Albamont Gardens 
and Greenhouses 
ALBAMONT GARDENS were established about 15 years agro as a part of the 
well known Albamont Farms, home of the famous Albamont Herd of Registered 
Guernseys. 
Attracted by the beautiful flowers grown as a hobby by the owner, each year 
has seen a large increase in the number of visitors to the Gardens, and since so many 
people are finding pleasure in our flowers, we are distributing this little booklet, giv¬ 
ing a brief description of the Gardens and extending a cordial invitation to come and 
see them. There is no charge for this privilege. 
For years we have been specializing in Delphiniums. Our soil is particularly 
adapted to them and our climaite, high in the mountains, is very rugged, with the 
result that our plants are extremely hardy. Even our little seedlings withstand 35 
degrees below zero without winterkilling. 
We have annually imported the choicest improved original strains and have 
carefully hybridized and blended them together, so that we now feel we have as 
fine a stock of Delphiniums, covering as wide a range of unusual colorings and ex¬ 
tremely large sized spikes and flowers as can be found anywhere in the United States 
or Canada. 
Our Delphiniums grow from four to eight feet tall. We sometimes have 
them nine feet tall. 
The great massive heads of flowers are covered with evei-y conceivable shade 
of blue, from the palest shades through to the deepest indigo blue. There are also 
many shades of lavender and deep purples. Some have yellow centers or “bees,” 
and others have white, brown or black bees. Many of the flowers are illuminated with 
lavender, pink and turquoise rays, making them strikingly beautiful. The blooms 
range from single through semi-double to flowers that are as double as the finest 
double Hollyhocks. And individual blooms as much as two and a half inches in dia¬ 
meter are very common. While our Delphiniums are in their prime during the first 
two w'eeks in July, we also have many in bloom during the last half of August through 
to the middle of October and even later depending on the absence of killing frosts. 
While Delphiniums are our specialty and we are at present growing over one 
hundred thousand of them annually, we also grow many thousands of other ])er- 
ennials including all the old fashioned garden favorites and also the finest new im¬ 
proved sorts. 
We have three varieties of the stately Aconitum, many sorts of Aquilegias or 
Columbines; Anthemis, a lemon yellow Margueritelike flower that blooms from June 
until frost; Campanulas, Digitalis or Foxgloves; Doronicum, a bright Spring flower;
