DELPHINIUM (Earkspur). 
There is no family 
of perennials more in 
the public mind today 
or showing greater 
improvements, than 
Delphiniums. When 
Delphiniums bloom, 
from June until frost, 
their long showy flow¬ 
er spikes protrude to 
a height of 3 to 4 
feet, so that the 
plants belong in the 
background of peren¬ 
nial groups, or in the 
foreground between 
shrubs. 
Delphinium. 
Dwarf Larkspur 
Delph. Chinense. 
Contrary to charac¬ 
ter of the forego¬ 
ing, this type is 
short and slender 
in growth, 15 to 18 
inches, very desira¬ 
ble for low bedding 
and borders; good 
size flowers. Blue— 
a very deep purplish 
blue or ‘White. 3,

$2.25. 
Wrexham Hollyhock Strain (Seeiiius- 
— — ■ . tration on 
front cover). 4 to 6 ft. Probably the choicest 
of all English strains, introducing superb 
patterns in every known color and combina¬ 
tion. Their most distinguished feature is the 
great size of the florets, and their peculiar 
setting along the spike, just like Hollyhock. 
2-year, field-grown plants. 3, 75c; doz., 
$2.50; 100, $15.00.

HARDY CARNATIONS 
Hardy Harvard 
Absolutely 
! S. & H. 
35 Introduc¬ 
tion. (See 
Front Cover). 
Of English origin. Similar to the Amer¬ 
ican developed “Crimson King” ; but much 
hardier, with more velvet in its crimson 
color, more perfect double petalage, and a 
dignified demeanor unmatched among the 
more transient garden flowers. We have 
named it “HARDY HARVARD”—in honor 
of its crimson color, its stability, and its 
distinctiveness. 40c each ; 3 for $1.00; doz. 
for $3.50. 
Crimson King A true 
■ 'Carnation, 
yet sufficiently hardy to 
plant outdoors with other 
perennials, if lightly pro¬ 
tected. Blooms prodigiously 
during about 5 months, 
June to November, with 
splendid double flowers 1% 
to 2*4 inches across, on 
stems 12 inches or more in 
length. The color is a rich, 
bright crimson-red; the 
spicy carnation fragrance 
very pleasing. Each, 25c; 
3, 65c; doz., $2.25.
