Named Delphiniums 
The tall, large-flowered, named varieties of Delphiniums are of European origin, and, as they are ex¬ 
tremely difficult to import, the percentage of loss in ocean transportation is very great. The accumulation 
of a large stock of the fine European named varieties has been very difficult; consequently they have 
remained comparatively high in price. I now have a very good stock of the best varieties of my own propa- 
^For producing a continuous mass of flowers, throughout the summer, Delphinium Belladonna and 
its hybrids are without a rival. 
AMOS PERRY. Beautiful variety with semi¬ 
double flowers, very symmetrical in form, 2^ inches 
across, of a rich rosy mauve, lined and flushed with 
sky-blue; outer petals sky-blue, with a conspicuous 
black eye. $1. 
ANDREW CARNEGIE. Enormous flowers* 
double, soft lilac, with blue center; extra. $1. 
BLEU TENDRE. Long spikes of silvery white, 
single flowers, flushed very light blue; distinct and 
beautiful. Healthy and vigorous growth; 4 to 
5 feet. SI.

flowers. $1.

spikes and unusually large, single, individual flow¬ 
ers; pure Cambridge blue, with white eye. $1.

Belladonna Hybrid Delphiniums 
Delphinium Belladonna t 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 Delphiniums. 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 recommended. 
BELLADONNA TYPE. An old favorite and 
one of the best, producing a profusion of flowers of 
a transparent sky-blue. 30 cts. 
GRANDIFLORA. Seedlings. While the old Bel¬ 
ladonna does not produce seed, this new type 
seeds freely and produces long spikes of larger flow¬ 
ers of the same sky-blue tint; of continuous- 
blooming habit. About 95 per cent of them come 
true to type, with an occasional plant of a dark, 
brilliant blue. 30 cts. 
CAPRI. Another novelty, the counterpart of 
Moerheimii, having the same healthy constitution, 
habit of growth and size of flowers, but of a beauti¬ 
ful sky-blue. 5 feet. 75 cts. 
LAMARTINE. A glorious plant for the border; 
deep Prussian blue, white eye; continuous bloomer; 
extra. 75 cts. 
MOERHEIMII. A splendid, new hybrid, with 
long spikes of large flowers of purest white. Blooms 
from the middle of June until autumn. Very strong, 
healthy growth. The very best white Delphinium 
to date. 5 feet. 75 cts. 
MR. J. S. BRUNTON. An improved Belladonna 
with larger flowers of the finest sky-blue, produced 
in great quantity throughout the whole summer. 
3 to 4 feet. 75 cts. 
MRS. THOMPSON. Clear deep blue flowers, 
with a brown bell. 75 cts. 
CHINENSIS SPECIES 
ALBA. A distinct species, with finely cut foliage, 
bearing spikes of medium-sized, pure white flowers 
in great profusion; blooms all summer. 25 cts. 
BLUE. Same as Chinensis alba, but with bril¬ 
liant deep blue flowers; blooms all summer; hand¬ 
some. 25 cts. 
FORMOSUM 
The old-fashioned dark blue Larkspur. Free 
bloomer and one of the most reliable of all the 
Larkspurs for general garden planting. Most ef¬ 
fective when arranged in groups of a dozen or more 
plants, with a background of shrubbery. 25 cts. 
Planning the Garden. P ast we have so man y customers and friends ask us 
—--—-! to help them plan their gardens that we considered it necessary 
several years ago to form a special landscape department, in charge of competent designers and 
plantsmen. These men are prepared to assist you with suggestions, the grouping of plants for best 
effects, and to make detailed planting plans. Where extensive plans are made and special visits for 
consultations are asked for, a reasonable charge will be made to cover services rendered.
