DIGITALIS 
Foxglove 
For stately and picturesque beauty it 
is not to be surpassed, and, planted in 
masses in the garden among shrubs or 
naturalized on the edge of woods, in the 
orchards or along brooks, it is extremely 
effective and satisfacory. It is a biennial, 
but, as it renews itself from self-sown 
seed, it may be treated as a perennial. 
GIANT SHIRLEY HYBRIDS. They are a 
genuine “Shirley” production of extraor¬ 
dinary size and vigor growing 5 to 6 feet 
tall. The flower heads are over 3 feet 
long, crowded with big bell-shaped blos¬ 
soms. Colors range from white and shell 
pink to deepest rose, many attractively 
dotted with crimson and chocolate.

We are glad to say that our 
seed department has shown a sub¬ 
stantial growth at the completion 
of its second year. Our customers 
have been very emphatically pleas¬ 
ed with results. We urge those of 
you who have not yet purchased 
seeds from us to give us a trial. 
Our seeds are the very best ob¬ 
tainable. 
DELPHINIUM 
Perennial Larkspur 
Indispensable to the herbaceous garden. 
Their long showy spikes of flowers per¬ 
sist from June till frost and furnish the 
most satisfactory blues to any color 
scheme. 
BELLADONNA. The most continuous 
blooming of all, never being out of bloom 
from June first until cut down by hard 
frost. The clear turquoise blue of its 
flowers is not equalled for delicacy and 
beauty by any other flowers. 
Per 10. $1.00; Per 100, $7.00 
BELLAMOSUM. This is a dark blue form 
of the popular light blue Belladonna, 
with which it is identical in habit and 
growth, freedom of bloom, but with in¬ 
tensely rich, deep blue flowers. 
Per 10, $1.00; Per 100, $7.00 
BLACKMORE «fc LANGDON HYBRIDS. 
For many years, we have grown many 
different strains of Delphinium having 
in mind to supply our customers with the 
best obtainable. This strain without a 
doubt stands in a class by itself. It has 
the range of colors well divided in the 
pale shades of Indigo with a strong run 
of the most delicate shades of rose, double 
and single. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
Belladonna Improved 
Cliveden Beauty 
Our strain of Belladonna Improved is pro¬ 
duced from stock seed of Cliveden Beauty, 
carefully selected to keep it absolutely 
pure and true to type. It is far superior 
to much of the so-called Belladonna Im¬ 
proved that is on the market today. We 
can thoroughly recommend it to the flor¬ 
ist or nurseryman who really is critical 
and wants the best to be had. It is the 
finest light blue for forcing or for out¬ 
door growing. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
ICEBERG. As far as we know the Ice¬ 
berg is the truest type of Delphinium in 
cultivation. However, they are not all 
pure white. Occasionally you will find 
off colors. On the other hand, we recom¬ 
mend this variety and if you are of the 
belief that you would like a White Del¬ 
phinium, if you will purchase a small 
quantity, a large percentage of same will 
produce desirable white flowers. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
SUMMER CLOUD. After further trial we 
are inclined to call Summer Cloud a real¬ 
ly better white Delphinium than Iceberg. 
Produces fine clear spikes for cutting or 
for contrast with the blues in the gar¬ 
den. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00

spikes of light blue flowers. 
Per 10. $1.00; Per 100, $7.00 
DICTAMNUS DICENTRA 
Gas Plant 
The Dictamnus is one of the most satis¬ 
factory hardy plants in cultivation, both 
on account of its splendid flowers and its 
rich durable foliage. 
FRAXINELLA RUBRA. A very showy 
border perennial, forming a bush about 
2% feet in height, having fragrant fo¬ 
liage and spikes of rosy pink flowers 
with deeper veins during June and July. 
Requires a heavy strong soil, and an 
open sunny position. It is not advisable 
to transplant often, as it improves with 
age, it being one of the most permanent 
features of the hardy herbaceous border. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
FRAXINELLA ALBA. The white flowered 
form of the above. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00

EXIMEA, (Plumy Bleeding Heart). A 
dwarf growing sort with beautiful finely 
cut foliage and showy racemes of pretty 
pink flowers through the entire season. 
Grows about 15 inches high. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
SPECTABILIS. An old-fashioned favor¬ 
ite; its long racemes of graceful heart 
shaped pink flowers in May or June are 
always attractive; it is used largely for 
forcing, and is perfectly at home in any 
part of the border, and especially valu¬ 
able for planting in the shade. Height 
I to 2 feet. Perfectly hardy and easy 
to cultivate.
