COREOPSIS grandiflora. Tickseed. (SL) A useful plant for 
the border and for cutting. The plants grow very readily and 
produce multitudes of golden yellow flowers all summer. They 
should be planted in full sun and in well-drained medium 
soil; on heavy soils the plants are likely to be winter-killed. 
English Delphiniums 
*CORYDALIS cheilanthifolia. (L) Dainty, fern-like foliage is the 
chief attraction. Clear yellow flowers on 1-foot stems in 
May. Grows well in shade. 
*CRUCIANELLA stylosa. Crosswort. (SL) A plant of creeping 
habit, useful in the rock-garden and for borders. The blooms 
are bright purple and resemble a small ball. Plants prefer 
partial shade but will succeed in bright sun. 
DELPHINIUMS • Hardy Larkspurs 
Stately, beautiful, and of unsurpassed beauty for perennial 
gardens, the tall Delphiniums are gorgeous in coloring and excel¬ 
lent for cutting. The blooming period begins about the middle of 
June and continues until late autumn. Delphiniums are at home 
in the small garden as well as in a far more pretentious planting. 
They grow best in rich well-drained soil. On heavy soil, dig in 
plenty of decayed manure, and it is desirable to add a quantity of 
sand or coal-ashes to loosen the soil and improve drainage. A 
light coating of lime is beneficial at planting-time. If faded flowers 
and seed-pods are removed, a second group of blooms may be 
expected late in the season. Before severe cold weather sets in the 
plants should be covered with a light coating of straw or litter, all 
of which should be removed in the spring. 
Blackmore & Langdon’s Hybrids, Gold Medal Strain. (SL) 
Pictured in color on front cover of this Catalogue. Strong, 
vigorous plants, producing spikes at least 4 to 6 feet long and 
closely set with lovely blooms which carry through the various 
shades of blue and purple. Large plants, 50 cts. each; $5 per 
doz.; $35 per 100. 
Belladonna. (SL) Flowers are clear turquoise-blue. The flower- 
stems are from 2 to 3 feet high, and the plant itself is rarely 
out of bloom from early June until late autumn. 
Belladonna Improved, Cliveden Beauty. (SL) Much like the 
preceding variety, but the flower-spikes are from 10 to 15 
inches taller. The blooms are turquoise-blue. 
Bellamosum. (SL) A free-blooming variety producing flowers 
of rich deep blue. In other respects much like the Belladonna 
sorts. 
Chinensis alba. (SL) A semi-dwarf variety seldom more than 
2 feet high. The flowers are pure white and have the same 
general character as do other varieties of Delphinium. 
Chinensis, Azure Fairy. (SL) Azure-or sky-blue. Very dainty. 
*Chinensis, Tom Thumb. (SL) Because of the dwarf habit this 
variety is adapted to rock-gardens and to border plantings. 
The flowers are gentian-blue, carried in open panicles.
