C HOICEST seedlings from Mr. Watkin Samuel's famous "Wrexham" or often called "Hollyhock" 
Delphiniums. 
We have handled this famous strain of Hybrid Delphinium for many years and in our opinion 
it is the finest available. This has been substantiated by the many high awards we have received. 
At the British Delphinium Society's Show in London, June 27th, 1935 six certificates or "Awards 
of Merit for new varieties were granted. Of these Mr. Watkin Samuel was awarded three. 
HYBRIDS 
WATKIN SAMUEL'S SELECTED VARIETIES: 
During the flowering season in June these won¬ 
derful Watkin Samuel "Wrexham" Delphinium 
Hybrids may be seen in their full magnificence 
in our display gardens, "Paradou", Brookville, 
Long Island, where selections of individual 
varieties may be made. Strong field-grown 
clumps. Each, $1; $9 for 10; $85 per 100. 
WATKIN SAMUEL'S "WREXHAM" HYBRID 
DELPHINIUM SEED: Selected by Mr. Samuel 
personally from his prizewinning plants. Hand 
pollenized. $5 per packet (about 250 seeds). 
BELLADONNA 
DELPHINIUM BELLADONA (Improved): The 
flowers of this hardy Larkspur are poised like a 
sky-blue butterfly on slender, stiff stems, away 
from the main stalk. They are of an exquisite, 
heavenly, turquoise-blue. 
The habit of growth of this plant is very grace¬ 
ful. Planted with Madonna or Nankeen Lilies, or 
in front of the much taller and formal Delphinium 
Hybrids, they create a lovely effect. 
They are one of our best cutflowers, and per¬ 
fectly hardy. Established plants produce a 
number of spikes, giving three crops during 
the season. 
Extra heavy clumps of the true, unmixed, im¬ 
proved variety. $3 for 10; $27.50 per 100. 
NEW HYBRIDS 
N O other group of hardy perennials has received the attention in recent years by hybridists, 
both here and abroad, as has the so-called "Daylily," or "Lemon Lily." 
Their development by these hybridists has been little less than phenomenal and the new varieties 
listed here are so great an improvement over the familiar "Daylilies" that one can scarcely 
recognize them as such. 
Hybrid Hemerocallis are very valuable for planting in borders, in the cutflower garden and 
for utilizing moist and shady positions. They are especially valuable where tones of yellow and 
orange are desired during the summer and early autumn. 
We have included in this list the finest introductions from American and English hybridists. 
They are of rare beauty, rich coloring and charming grace of form. They are unsurpassed as to 
hardiness and freedom from disease and insect pests. They will succeed in the coldest parts of 
Maine as well as in sub-tropical Florida. 
CULTURE: Of easy and simple culture, they demand a reasonably moist soil, fairly rich, and 
prefer, but do not require, slight shade.
