Buddleia. For brilliance of 
color, grace of its flower 
spikes and uniform habit of 
growth this new Buddleia 
greatly surpasses all other 
varieties. The plants develop 
into well branched symmetri¬ 
cal bushes 3-4 feet high; the 
individual flower spikes often 
measure 10 inches in length, 
they are brilliant rosy purple 
with a violet suffusion. Their 
fragrance adds another fea¬ 
ture to their beauty. We offer 
nice 2-year-old field grown 
plants.

duces solid double pure white flowers on good wiry stems from 18 to 24 
inches in length. Most of the plants will have from 15 to 20 flowers. 
Under normal conditions these Daisies usually come into full flower for 
Memorial Day. 10. $2.00 100. $15.00 
DELPHINIUM 
Perennial Larkspur 
Indispensable to the herbaceous garden. Their long showy spikes of 
flowers persist from June till frost and furnish the most satisfactory blues 
to any color scheme. 
NOTE! The varieties "Belladonna" and "Bellamosum" are also desirable 
for forcing. 
Belladonna. The most continuous blooming of all, never being out of bloom 
f ,om June first until cut down by hard frost. The clear turquoise blue of 
i 1 Avers is not equalled for delicacy and beauty by any other flowers.

Belladonna Improved (Cliveden Beauty). Our strain of Belladonna Im¬ 
proved is produced from stock seed of Cliveden Beauty, carefully selected 
to keep it absolutely pure and true to type. It is far superior to much of 
the so-called Belladonna Improved that is on the market today. We can 
thoroughly recommend it to the florist or nurseryman who really is critical 
and wants the best to be had. It is the finest light blue for forcing or for 
out-door growing. 10. $1.50 100. $10.00 
Bellamosum. This is a dark blue form of the popular light blue Bella¬ 
donna, with which it is identical in habit and growth, freedom of bloom, 
but with intensely rich, deep blue flowers. 10. . . .$1.00 100. . . $7.00 
Blackmore & Langdon Hybrids. For many years, we have grown many 
different strains of Delphinium, having in mind to supply our customers 
with the best obtainable. This strain without a doubt stands in a class by 
itself. It has the range of colors well divided in the pale shades of indigo 
with a strong run of the most delicate shades of rose, double and single.

and in the garden, where a mass of delicate, misty bloom will fill a 
bare place.

panicles of flowers, and having the advantage of blooming more or less 
continuously all summer, new branches of bloom appearing after the 
first flush of flowers has passed, if these are cut. We offer (grafted)

what on the flat order. Most of them run a good semi-double. The color 
is a desirable shade of orange and they are exceptionally good for cut¬ 
ting purposes. They grow to a height of 30 inches.
