Delphinium 
Make Belladonna with Wrexham your leaders, also have 
some Chinensis, a variety growing only 3 feet tall, in white 
and blue. Very brightly colored. You can sow Delphiniums 
in the spring or in July and August or late in November 
just before the ground freezes up. The seed will lay dor¬ 
mant and will sprout early in the spring and produce 
plants with little or no attention. You get the benefit of 
spring rains, the time it takes to sow the seed when done in 
November will be at your disposal in the spring when you 
are more than busy, you will save time and expense because 
you will hardly need to water the seedlings from November 
sown seed. Delphinium will thrive in any good soil in full 
sunlight but refuses to do well in sour ground. Sourness is 
corrected by liming. FORCING DELPHINIUMS. Generally 
speaking it is not well to start forcing before Christmas and 
a temperature of not over 45 degrees at night suffices at the 
outset. Plant 20 inches apart both ways and twice a month 
give light applications of liquid sheep manure. Plant in solid 
beds, loosen the soil deep for every clump. Water only when 
really needed and never pour water into the crowns. 
DELPHINIUM IN THE SOUTH will bloom and furnish a good 
crop of fine flowers from seed sown in the fall. The Chinese Delph¬ 
inium never disappoints, the Belladonna type is somewhat unreliable.
