BRAND PEONY FARMS , Inc . 
The Delphinium or Perennial Larkspur is one of the indispensable flow¬ 
ers to our flower garden. No garden is quite finished without it, as it 
works into so many places. It starts blooming in June and continues 
throughout the season until frost, if, as soon as the first bloom falls, the 
old spike is cut off and the root well watered. New shoots will soon 
appear and the second crop of blooms will soon follow. The Delphinium 
should be planted in full sun in mellow soil, enriched with well-rotted 
manure. Water as soon as planted. . 
The terrible drought and hot winds which we have experienced for the 
past three years have made it next to impossible to grow good Delphinium 
here but we made large plantings of the very best seed obtainable again 
last August and now have fine lots of beautiful plants coming on in 
the fields. 
As the plants bloom this summer they will be gone through constantly 
and the quality of the blooms checked personally. Those checked as the 
very best will be sold at $1.00 each; $10.00 per dor. Fine specimens 
but not the absolute tops will be priced at 50c each; $5.00 per do*. 
Fine field run just as they come in the row, the best ones not picked out 
at 25c each; $2.50 per do*., postpaid. From either of the following 
strains: 
WREXHAM HOLLYHOCK STRAIN 
We have a nice bed of plants for this fall's trade in this most wonderful strain 
from the finest seed we could procure in both England and America. Delphin¬ 
ium plants will go out at the proper planting season and only select plants 
will go into our orders. 
WAGNER'S HYBRIDS 
We have grown Delphinium for many years. Planted seed from all fhe world's 
greatest strains but we never had any strain that would excel this Wagner 
Strain. It comes to us from the Pacific Coast and because of the uniform 
high quality of the stock, shows that it has been selected with the most 
painstaking care. We offer plants from either of the above strains with the 
utmost confidence of giving satisfaction. 
BELLADONNA 
A light blue single in rather a loose open panicle that is one of the best of 
all varieties for dressing up bouquets. Extensively used for that purpose. 
25c each; 6 for $1.00; 12 for $1.75 
ICEBERG 
A fine large pure whife variety that is the best of its color. 
50c each; 3 for $1.25 
Delphinium, Wrexham Strain 
The Aquilegias or Columbines are among the most elegant of the 
hardy perennial plants. They do fine in full sun but are best suited to 
semi-shady locations. They are most commonly used in the long spurred 
mixtures which cover a wide range of soft, delicate, distinct shades. 
Desirable planted in the long spurred sorts where the separate colors are 
used to work out required color effects. 
We have made quite a study of the Columbine of late years and have 
been to great pains to secure the seed from the very best strains as a 
foundation in our plantings. 
We offer choice Columbine in the two most sought after mixtures and 
also in four separate distinct colors. 
You can purchase either of the following offerings with perfect as¬ 
surance of getting the very choicest Columbine to be had anywhere. 
MRS. SCOTT ELLIOTT (Lonq Spurred Hybrids) 
One of the best known and most select of all the strains of Columbines. Very 
carefully selected for clear, even, soft color tones combined with very long 
graceful spurs. A wonderful, choice strain. 
DOBBIE'S IMPERIAL HYBRIDS (Lonq Spurred) 
A wonderful mixture in the most beautiful colors. Contains every shade 
imaginable. In England they are considered the best mixture offered today. 
Great wide throated bells and many deep rich shades not found in other 
strains. 
Columbines in the separate colors: 
BLUE SHADES. Long spurred. 
PINK SHADES. Long spurred. 
SILVER QUEEN. Long spurred fine white. 
Heavy field grown plants, 35c each; 5 for $1.00; $2.25 per do*.
