DELPHINIUM 
[Larkspur] 
There is no family of perennials more 
in the public mind today or showing 
greater improvements, than Delphini¬ 
ums. When Delphiniums bloom, from 
June till frost, their long, showy flower 
spikes protrude to a height of 3 to 4 
feet, so that the plants belong in the 
background of perennial groups, or in 
the foreground between shrubs.

(chiefly Blackmore & Langdon's), 
with a small per cent added from 
prominent American strains. Mixed 
only: 3, 70c; doz., $2.50. 
Wrexham Hollyhock Strain 
Under English conditions and cultiva¬ 
tion, this highly developed strain at¬ 
tains 4 to 6 feet and produces flower 
heads of abnormal length and thick¬ 
ness ; but American growers cannot 
expect quite so much. The most dis¬ 
tinguished feature is the great size of 
the florets, and their peculiar setting 
along the spike, so like the Hollyhock. 
We offer strong, 2-year, field-grown 
plants raised from choicest imported 
Wrexham seed.
