DELPHINIUM [Larkspur] 
There is no family of perennials more in the public mind 
Today or showing greater improvements, than Delphiniums.

showy flower spikes protrude to a height of 3 to 4 feet, so 
that the plants belong in the background of perennial groups, 
or in the foreground between shrubs.

Wrexham Hollyhock Strain Under English condi- 
■ tions and cultivation, 
this highly developed strain attains 4 to 6 feet and pro¬

distinguishing feature is the great size of the florets, and 
their peculiar setting along the spike, so like the Hollyhock.

tions and intriguing patterns. We offer strong, 1-year, field- 
grown plants (transplanted from 2)4-'nch pots) raised from
