HARDY PERENNIALS—Continued 
DELPHINIUM (Larkspur). There is no family of perennials more in 
the public mind today or showing greater improvements, than 
Delphiniums. When Delphiniums bloom, from June till frost, 
their long, showy flower spikes protrude to a height of 3 to 4 ft. 
so that the plants belong in the background of perennial groups, 
or in the foreground between shrubs. 
chinsnsis. Gentian blue flowers. June. 15 to 18 in. 
Wrexham Hollyhock Strain. Under English conditions and cul¬ 
tivation, this highly developed strain attains 4 to 6 ft. and pro¬ 
duces flower heads of abnormal length and thickness, but Ameri¬ 
can growers cannot expect quite so much. The most distinguished 
feature is the great size of the florets and their peculiar setting 
along the spike, so like the Hollyhock. We offer strong, 2 year, 
field grown plants raised from choicest imported Wrexham seed. 
DIANTHUS (Hardy Pinks). Short, dense growth and glaucous, 
grassy foliage and abundant fragrant flowers all Summer, throw 
these delightful subjects into the edging foreground. 
barbatus (Sweet-william). Great richness and variety of coloring; 
beautifully marked. Numerous, broad compact trusses of single 
flowers like Phlox. 
*Deltoides (Maiden Pink). 18 in. A charming, slender-stemmed 
type, foliage prostrate; mass of small pink flowers, carmine to 
light coral. May and June.

age. Produces rose pink flowers on 3 in. stems, blooming in May 
and June.

highly ornamental plants when well grown, with flower stems at

singly in half shady places near a walk or drive. The racemes of 
the flowers are often 2 ft. in length, containing scores of prettily 
spotted, thimble-shaped flowers. Perfectly hardy. Pink, white 
and purple. June-July.

foliage. 3 to 4 ft. July and August. Used for garden and cutting.

when protruding from wall pockets; or on the garden level, when 
the upright growth forms close ranks of 6 in. stems, covered with 
fleshy, oblong, concave pointed blue leaves in close spirals; the 
Spring flowers yellow in crowded umbels.

in borders and beds. Mixed crimson and gold flowers. 1)4 ft- June-
