The Delphiniums in this perennial border stood more than 8 feet tall. The planting provides a succession of 
bloom that makes it a source of interest throughout the season. Much of the success with a planting of this 
nature is in its care. Fertile soil, not too much shade, frequent weeding and stirring of the soil, plenty of water 
properly applied, and now and then an application of fertilizer. However, the arrangement of the plants, with 
the very tall ones in the bach row, those of medium height next and the low growing ones in front, helps the 
appearance materially.
