TOTTY’S HARDY PERENNIALS, MADISON, NEW JERSEY 
HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
DELPHINIUMS— 
Delphiniums, or 
Perennial Larkspurs 
Hardy Herbaceous 
_ The present clay Hybrid Delphiniums 
give a wonderful range of color, running 
Irom pure white to royal purple, through 
the most marvelous shades of azure, gentian 
blue and sapphire. Many of the newer va¬ 
rieties have a large, distinct center, shaped 
like a bee, which is always of a different 
shade of color than the surrounding petals 
and furnishes a gorgeous contrast. Many 
of the light blue have a deep black center or 
bee. In some of the others the bee is a 
brilliant Rose color, against a dark blue 
ground. 
For the benefit of those who insist on 
having certain special colors and types for 
exhibiting at the Summer shows, we did 
import the named varieties from Europe, 
but we have developed a strain of our own 
here m America, which, owing to their in¬ 
creased vigor and constitution, are far su¬ 
perior and more satisfactory to the average 
buyer than the very best named sorts. 
We h ave made a specialty of Delphin¬ 
iums now for some years, as we realize their 
utility and feel there is a place in every gar¬ 
den in the country for these sterling plants. 
Delphinium Seedlings 
Totty’s Special Hybrids 
As the result of years devoted to their cul¬ 
ture, we can offer for Spring planting seed¬ 
ling clumps of the very finest named types 
and challenge comparison with any other 
house in the country with our seedling Del¬ 
phiniums. Were they grown in Europe, 
many of them would be named and sold at 
a high price. Dozens of letters were re¬ 
ceived by us the past year complimenting 
us on our superior seedling Delphiniums 
and many of them stated that though the 
writers had been growing Delphiniums for 
years, they had never received plants that 
gave so much satisfaction and pleasure as 
our seedlings. 
Prices: 50c. per plant, $5.00 per doz., 
$35.00 per 100, for year-old clumps
