DELPHINIUMS—Hardy Larkspur 
Hardy Perennial 
The Delphinium of today is one of the most beau¬ 
tiful of all flowers. It is most rich in coloring and very 
stately of habit. The foliage is very attractive and the 
spikes of bloom freely borne. A border of Delphiniums 
will often remain in bloom for two months. 
The culture of Delphiniums is exceedingly simple 
as they thrive in almost any position. A rich, friable 
loam will suit them finely. Dig deeply, add plenty of 
well-rotted manure and plant about three to four feet 
apart, being very careful that no manure comes in con¬ 
tact with the roots. 
Planted in lines or groups as a background for 
other plants, the effect is exceedingly fine. Copious 
watering in summer will greatly increase the size of 
spike and flower and top dressing is strongly recom¬ 
mended that the soil will not dry out and bake. Coal 
ashes strewn over the crowns will protect the plant 
from slugs and worms through the winter and spring. 
We regret to be obliged to omit our list of named 
varieties for this season as we have sold ourselves en¬ 
tirely out of stock.

Hardy Perennial 
Pinks comprise a large number of valuable plants 
tot the rockery, wall garden or border. ^/Ve have formed 
what we consider, a very representative collection of 
l inks. I he majority are of easy culture and where any 
special tieatment is necessary, we have made mention 
of the fact. 
All Pinks should have plenty of sun, unless other¬ 
wise mentioned, and the majority may be divided after 
flowering,
