DELPHINIUM (Larkspur) 
In variety and beauty of its blue tints, which are 
as numerous as they are charming, no other plant 
can equal the Delphinium. The brilliant fiowers 
are s'trongly effective in beds or masses, in bor¬ 
ders, shrubberies, or in combination with white 
lilies. Improvements are continually being made 
in the size of the flowers, as well as in the length 
and fullness of the spikes. Some of the species 
flower both early and late; the season for all 
can be prolonged by cutting away withered flower- 
stems. All varieties are easily cultivated and 
adaptable to many conditions, but in a soil deeply 
dug and well enriched with fine old manure, their 
blooms are the finest. Setting them 1% to 2 
feet each way is not too much for the taller sorts. 
ANNUAL VARIETIES 
These include the Rocket or Hyacinth-flo'wered, 
so called from their long, narrow flower-spikes. 
They bloom best in a rather cool, moist soil. Sow 
seed in the open border, either in spring or fall, 
preferably the latter so that germination may 
take place very early in the spring. As the 
seedlings grow, thin them to stand 6 to 18 inches 
apart, according to variety. The varieties are 
seldom kept separate, as they are quite as pretty 
and convenient for cutting when sown in mixture. 
Some of these are really hardy biennials, but be¬ 
cause they bloom the first season, we treat them 
as hardy annuals. The shades of color cover a 
very wide range.
