These shrubs are of spreading habit and do not grow 
over 8 to 12 inches high; producing delicately perfumed 
rose-pink blossoms. The flowers completely cover the 
plant not only in spring but again in early autumn. 
As an edging plant in front of evergreens or shrubs, it 
is unequaled. It also forms a splendid low hedge along 
garden walks and around flower beds.

DELPHINIUM—Larkspur 
Stately and handsome summer-flowering, herbaceous 
perennials of unsurpassable beauty for the border. Few 
plants lend a greater attraction to the border in early 
summer than bold masses of the many lovely colors 
when in flower. Fortunately they can be grown in 
every garden, but in our warm, dry states they do not 
live long. Best results are obtained in our cooler re¬ 
gions, especially along the Pacific and Atlantic coast. 
Culture. Delphiniums require a rich, generous and' 
well drained soil. On soils of a light or medium nature 
dig in plenty of well-decayed manure. In those of a 
heavy nature it is desirable to dig out holes two feet 
deep and wide for each plant. Fork up the sub-soil and 
mix manure freely with it, then fill the holes with a 
compost of two parts loam and one of equal propor¬ 
tions of decayed manure and sand. Unless such a pre¬ 
caution be taken in the case of heavy soils the plants 
will not survive the winter. The plants are best grown 
in groups of three or six. Allow a distance of at least 
18 inches to two feet between the plants. Planting 
may be done in autumn or early spring. Remove faded 
flowers, and on no account allow seeds to develop, then 
a second crop of flowers may be expected later on. 
Each spring apply a liberal mulch of rotten manure 
around the base of the plant. Every third year lift, 
divide, and replant in freshly dug and manured soil. 
ENGLISH DELPHINIUMS 
Wayside Gardens Hybrids 
Three $1.60, Doz. $4.50, 100 $35.00 
Here offered are the newest, the best and the finest to 
be secured anywhere. The range of colors varies from 
the palest shade of blue to the deepest indigo blue and 
royal purple with many intermediary pastel tones of 
mauve, pink and lavender blendings. Among these new 
hybrids are flowers of huge size in both single and 
double forms. This strain has been raised from seed 
saved from the finest named kinds in creation. Visit¬ 
ors at our nursery proclaim them the best they have 
ever seen. Those who wish to perfect their already 
much prized borders cannot afford to overlook these 
wonderful hybrids. 
Wrexham Hybrid Three $1.20, Doz. $3.50, 100 $25.00 
This is one of the newest and at present the most pop¬ 
ular strains of the garden Delphinium. It is distinct 
because of its broad, conical spike and enormous indi¬ 
vidual flowers, 1M--2 inches in diameter, in all shades 
of blue blended with mauve and violet. Also contains 
some fine clear white types. 
Blacfcmore and Eangdon Hybrid 
Three $1.20, Doz. $3.50, 100 $25.00 
This English strain is one of the finest developments in 
the Delphinium family. The flowers are enormous, pro¬ 
duced 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 ele¬ 
gance for cutting unsurpassed in this family of plants.

A lovely pale blue variety growing about four to five 
feet high, producing its flower spikes in goodly num¬ 
bers. One of the best kinds of its color. 
DELPHINIUM BELLADONNA 
The Belladonna Delphinium does not grow quite as tall 
as the popular English Hybrids, but they produce more 
spikes and are more graceful, therefore, more useful 
for cutting. In fact, they are our lovliest early blue 
flowers for that purpose. They require the same care 
and treatment as suggested for the English Hybrids, 
but may be planted a little closer together, 12 inches 
apart is sufficient space for theni. Their lovely blue 
spikes are about 3 to 4 feet high and produced in June 
and again in September.

DELPHINIUM CHINENSE—Chinese Delphinium 
The Chinense Delphiniums differ materially from the 
Belladonna or English Hybrids. They rarely grow over 
three feet in height and bloom about three or four 
weeks later. The foliage of this variety is almost fern¬ 
like, the plants are more graceful‘and the flowers, 
which grow in panicles, are of an intense gentian blue. 
A lovely thing for the border. Require same treatment 
as English Delphiniums. They should be planted about 
10 to 12 inches apart. Their roots are much smaller 
than those of the English Hybrids. 
Chinense Three $0.85, Doz. $2.50, 100 $18.00 
A very pretty variety, with fine, feathery foliage and 
intense gentian-blue flowers in open panicles.

Old-fashioned perennials; also known under the name of 
Dielvtra. The species named below have fleshy, brittle 
stems and finely cut, fernlike foliage. 
Culture. Spectabilis should be grown in a partially

the rockery. Plant in fall or very early spring, 8 to 
12 inches apart.

forcing in the house, and is perfectly at home in any 
part of the hardy border, and especially valuable for 
planting in clumps. 
’‘■Eximia Three $1.00, Doz. $3.00, 100 $20.00

where.
