HARDY PERENNIALS 
Delphinium 
(Perennial Larkspur) 
Our strain of Riverview Giants, we 
are pleased to offer you is the result of 
years of effort to produce more beautiful 
flowers. There are few plants so hand¬ 
some as perennial larkspurs. They are 
valuable for their great variety in 
height, varying from 4 to 10 feet; for 
their great variety in shades of color, 
varying from the palest lavender 
through every conceivable shade of 
palest blue to deep indigo. They thrive 
in almost any situation or soil and are 
easily increased, being perfectly hardy. 
A good, deep, rich soil will repay with 
larger and better flowers. Remove the 
flower before the seed pods form and 
they will flower later in the season again. 
Those who have seen the Riverview 
Giants do not need to be told what they 
are. For those who have not we can 
only say that they surpass anything 
known anywhere for variety, thriftiness, 
generosity of blooming, and their un¬ 
imaginable beauty in bed or as a cut 
flower. Everywhere they take first 
prizes. We were contemplating selling 
separate varieties, but have decided to 
give you the benefit of an extraordinary 
assortment, full of surprise and delight.

mens, in small groups, or in large beds

Lilium Regale 
This new lily is becoming very pop¬ 
ular. Its waxy white and beautifully 
formed great blossoms have a tinge of 
primrose yellow in the throat, while the 
outsides of the petals have a deep rose 
blush. They are very hardy, but it is 
very important to give them a liberal 
covering with marsh hay or other ma¬ 
terials that will keep them dry during 
the winter. They should be planted to 
a depth of 8 inches or more. 
Large bulbs, 25c; per doz. $2.50.
