^Delphiniums 
Our Sp ecia Ity 
D ELPHINIUMS have become the most popular peren¬ 
nial in American gardens since the development and 
introduction of the English Hybrids. These new hybrids 
are without doubt the grandest flower in the garden when well 
grown. Belladonna and the dark blue Bellamosa are as popular 
as ever, the first furnishing a different and outstanding blue 
that is not common among annuals or perennials. Delphiniums. 
grow easily in any kind of soil and varied climatic conditions. 
FOR SPRING PLANTING 
We are growing thousands of young thrifty plants in our 
greenhouses this winter to supply healthy plants for our 
thousands of customers. These are growing in clay pots and 
will be shipped with the soil on their roots so they will not 
lose any time in their development into good blooming plants 
this summer. I have cut the price on these potted plants but 
I consider them far superior to ordinary field grown plants. 
When you plant them and see-them develop quickly into a 
big plant you too will say they are better than any plants 
started outside.
