Named Delphiniums 
These are all imported plants and, as they are somewhat difficult to establish, a percentage of loss may 
be expected. Where a number of plants are to be used, and it is not necessary to have them all of one 
shade, the selected seedlings should be used. 
For producing a continuous mass of blue flowers throughout the summer, Delphinium Belladonna 
and its hybrids are without a rival.

extra fine for grouping. 50 cts.

brilliant blue. 25 cts. Seed, 25 cts. per packet.

BELLADONNA HYBRIDS 
Delphinium Belladonna , with its beautiful sky- 
blue flowers, is an old favorite of our gardens, to 
which have been added, of late, many new and very 
beautiful hybrids. These form a class by themselves 
entirely distinct from the taller-growing Del¬ 
phiniums. They are distinguished by loosely formed, 
much branched, slender spikes of flowers, by their 
healthy constitution and very free- and continuous- 
blooming qualities, producing a mass of color from 
June until frost. They cannot be too highly recom¬ 
mended.

age, bearing spikes of medium-sized, pure white

liant deep blue flower; blooms all summer. 15 cts.
