flowering from seed within 6 months from date of sowing. Many 
of the blooms were of extraordinary size and coloring, and equal to 
named varieties.

DELPHINIUMS 
Delphiniums furnish our gardens with flowers of great beauty in 
form and color, the charming shades of blue being especially attrac- 
tive. The perennial varieties offered below are extremely valuable 
during the early months of summer, and are strikingly effective in 
the border. They can be grown quite easily from seed, from which 
it is now possible to produce the best colors and shades, many flowers 
being equal to the finest named sorts. It is usual to sow in May, 
June or July, transplanting the seedlings in autumn. The annual 
varieties, generally known as Larkspurs, follow in the later summer 
months, and include a wide range of tints of singular purity and 
brightness. 
11614. Hybridum, Sutton’s Improved. Very beautiful strain with 
large handsome flower spikes, including the best of the new double 
and single varieties. Height 3 to 5 feet. Mixed shades.
