DELPHINIUM or HARDY LARKSPUR 
Mrs. Ely, author of “A Woman’s Hardy Garden,” 
says: 
“Perennial Larkspur may be planted as soon as 
the Spring has opened. The ground should be well 
drained and carefully prepared, but manure must not 
be allowed to come in contact with the roots, or grubs 
are apt to destroy the plants. A little finely ground 
bone meal dug around each plant early in May will be 
of benefit, and in late Autumn coal ashes should be 
sifted over the crowns of the plants to protect them 
from the white grub, which is their only enemy. The 
stalks being very tender, the plants should be staked 
when they are about three feet high, to protect them 
from heavy winds. Larkspur begins to bloom about 
June 20th, and by cutting off the plants close to the 
ground, as soon as each crop of flowers has faded, a 
second and third crop of flowers will succeed. Each 
time the plants are cut a little bone meal should be dug 
about them.” 
BELLADONNA. The freest and most continuous 
bloomer of all, never being out of flower from the 
end of June until cut down by hard frost. The clear 
turquoise-blue of its flowers is not equaled for 
delicacy and beauty by any other flower. 35 cents 
each; $3.50 per dozen; $25.00 per 100.
