DELPHINIUM (Continued) 
older stock, and it is a simple matter to dispose of a large proportion 
of these while they are in flower. The same holds true of the older 
varieties like Belladonna and Bellamosum, while Chinensis is easily 
flowered in a few months from the seed and may be treated as an 
annual or biennial, being really not a true perennial at all. All of 
these Delphiniums demand a well drained and sweetened soil. 
Bone freely used is an excellent food for them. Sprayings of Bordeaux 
mixture with nicotine sulphate and soap will do much toward keep¬ 
ing plants clean; this is especially true of the choice hybrids.
