Pudor’s New Prize Winner Delphinium Strain. 
Here we have something entirely new in Delphiniums. 
Marvelous flowers, large and beautiful beyond com¬ 
pare, in dark blues and plum shades and light shades. 
The individual flowers are nearly always double, 
often triple, and once in a while of full Ranunculus 
type, often three inches in diameter. Plants are 
healthy, strong, vigorous and surprisingly drought- 
resisting, producing marvelous stalks under all 
weather and soil conditions. 
The stalks are not as heavy and coarse as in the 
Wrexham strain. Bee centers are not too prominent, 
and both white and black. 
Vanderbilt Hybrids. This American Strain is, in 
our opinion, the finest possible development to date 
in the Delphinium family. The flowers are enor¬ 
mous, produced on solid, erect spikes of great height 
and rigidity. The colors lie in delicate shades of 
blue, mauve, and pink. Combines landscape value 
with a grace and elegance for cutting unsurpassed in 
this family of plants. 
DIANTIiUS (Sweetwilliam) 
Newport Pink, Scarlet Beauty, Sweet Wivelsfield. 
DIGITALIS (Foxglove) 
For stately and picturesque beauty it is not to be 
surpassed, and, planted in masses in the garden 
among shrubs or naturalized on the edge of woods, 
in the orchards or along brooks, it is extremely effec¬ 
tive and satisfactory. It is a biennial, but, as it re¬ 
news itself from self-sown seed, it may be treated as 
a perennial. 
Giant Shirley Foxgloves. They are a genuine 
“Shirley” production of extraordinary size and vigor, 
growing 5 to 6 feet tall. The flower-heads are over 3 
feet long, crowded with big, bell-shaped blossoms. 
Colors range from white and shell-pink to deepest 
rose, many attractively dotted with crimson and 
chocolate. 
DICENTRA (Bleeding Heart or Seal Flower) 
Spectabilis. An old-fashioned favorite; its long 
racemes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers are 
always attractive. It is largely used for forcing. 
50c each; $4.50 dozen. 
Eximia (Plumy Bleeding Heart.) A dwarf 
growing sort, with beautiful finely cut foliage 
and showy racemes of pretty pink flowers through¬ 
out the season. 
EUPATORIUM 
Coelestinum (Hardy Ageratum). A fine peren¬ 
nial closely resembling the Ageratum, flowers a 
lavender blue, flowering from August to frost. A 
fine Perennial for florist’s use. 
FUNKIA 
Undulata Variegata (Day Lily). Its broad rich 
green leaves have a fluted white edge, a truly fine 
foliage pot plant for Easter sales. They require 
from 4 to 6 weeks to force and should be potted up 
about February 20 or March 1. 25c each; $2.00 
dozen.

GROWING PERENNIALS 
We are convinced that the direct cause of 
many failures in growing plants has been the 
disregard of the natural tendencies and re¬ 
quirements of the plants being used. Some 
plants thrive in dry sandy soils, some in moist 
sandy loam, some in rocky situations, while 
others want very rich damp soil. 
In their native haunts some grow in dense 
shade, others like the diffused light of scat¬ 
tered forest or mountain side while still others 
want the broad sunlight. To disregard their 
preferences and natural habitats is to fail 
miserably in their cultivation. We are con¬ 
fident that the plants we supply will in every 
instance give satisfactory results if care and 
good judgment are used in their planting and 
cultivation. 
Plants should be unpacked immediately 
upon arrival and if you cannot plant them at 
once, they should be heeled in and given enough 
moisture to keep the roots fresh and plump. 
In planting them, be sure to spread the roots 
and sift the soil carefully over them. Water 
them often and keep the soil stirred around 
them. No manure or fertilizer should touch 
the roots. Remember plants are living things 
and will respond to good treatment by giving 
you large flowers and healthy foliage.
