W E ARE tempted to say that the im¬ 
proved English Delphiniums are the 
most beautiful hardy plants in cultiva¬ 
tion. Blooming all summer, coming up year 
after year, sending aloft successive shafts of 
incredible color to a height of five, six, eight 
feet, it is doubtful if any other plant so superb 
as Delphinium ever graced a garden. 
Few people are aware of the perfection to 
which the ancient flower has been brought by 
modern plant breeding, how easily it can be 
planted and grown, and how lasting a delight 
the gardener secures who plants Delphinium. 
If everyone knew, tall, hardy Delphiniums 
would be more in evidence everywhere.

from seeds of famous named varieties. Will 
grow anywhere but do best in rich garden soil.

Perennials 
ORIENTAL 
REMEMBER very well the first time I saw an 
-i. Oriental Poppy. I was a boy then, and it ex¬ 
cited me wonderfully, and I thought it was the most 
remarkable flower in the world, and now, after 
fifty years have gone by and I have seen all known 
flowers of the world, I am still of the opinion that it 
is wonderfully fine; the most striking and effective 
perennial in cultivation.” Our founder, Mr. J. Wilk¬ 
inson Elliott, said this fifteen years ago and it is still 
true. One who has not seen the blazing beauty of 
the Oriental Poppies has not yet seen a garden. 
We grow the finest varieties in cultivation. They

Poppies and is so superior to anything which has

are borne on strong, erect stems. 50c each; #5.00
