Delphinium 
Mills New De Luxe 
This is a marvelous race of Giant Hy¬ 
brid Delphiniums, embracing many 
shades and colors such as white, laven¬ 
der, blue, azure, purple, indigo, with sev¬ 
eral of the shades being blended in some 
of the blooms impossible to describe. 
Flowers are of immense size, single, dou¬ 
ble and semi-double on tall spikes pro¬ 
duced on giant plants from 5 to 6 feet 
tall. The blooms of such immense size 
produced in many rich shades and col¬ 
ors make this a wonderful perennial 
to grow.

Arctotis Hybrids 
Another of the lovely flowers which have 
come to us lately from Africa. The Hy¬ 
brids come in a brilliant assortment of 
showy daisy-like flowers predominating 
in orange and bronzy red shades, but 
also comprising many lovely shades of 
rose, cream, yellow and salmon. In the 
milder climates they may be classed as 
perennial but in the northern latitudes 
they are better treated as an annual. 
They flower within six months from seed, 
and bloom profusely through the hot 
summer season.

Wonder Gourds 
Mammoth Luffa 
A most interesting novelty of recent in¬ 
troduction. Young fruits of this Giant 
? ;row to an astounding length, some- 
imes over 8 feet when the vines are 
trained to a tall trellis so the fruits can 
hang down as shown in photo. If the 
fruits are disturbed by anything during 
growing period, they start to wind, form¬ 
ing many differenl shapes and sizes. 
Fruits are edible if cooked in early stage 
of growth. This is a real curiosity and 
very interesting to grow. Directions for 
culture on each packet. Seed limited.
