LAVATERA - Mallow 
The Lavateras, or Mallows as they are more popularly known in 
gardens, are extremely showy subjects for tall borders and large beds. 
Lavatera, Sutton’s Loveliness, is undoubtedly the finest form of all 
the Pink Mallows; the imposing flowers are exceedingly rich in color 
and may be cut on stems of 2 feet or more in length. 
12228. Sutton’s Loveliness. A deep form of our well known Lava- 
tera rosea splendens, being much richer in color. Very effective 
either as a garden plant or for indoor decoration, the bronzy foli¬ 
age and stems making a fine foil to the glowing rose-pink flowers 
Per pkt., 26c. 
12234. Alba Splendens. An excellent contrast to the preceding fine 
Pink Mallows. Flowers large, glossy pearly white; valuable for 
borders and to supply cut material for vases or other decorative 
purposes. Height 3 feet. Per pkt., 13c. 
Sutton's Glorious Larkspur 
LARKSPUR 
These annual Delphiniums are quite hardy, and the fine spikes of 
bloom are exceedingly graceful and attractive. The taller varieties are 
suitable for shrubberies and borders, and the dwarfer varieties for 
beds. It is usual to put in the seed where the plants are intended to 
stand, and March and April are the best months for spring sowing. 
Thin out the seedlings promptly, and give each plant ample room for 
development, especially when grown on good ground. Larkspurs 
may also be sown in September for producing an earlier display in 
the following year than is possible from spring-sown seed. 
12217. Early-Flowering, Tall Rocket Mixed. An early-flowering 
strain of tall Larkspur, growing about 3 feet high and producing 
an abundance of spikes of double flowers. The plants come into 
bloom at least 3 weeks in advance of the Stock-Flowered class. 
Per pkt., 26c. 
Sutton’s Stock-Flowered 
A tall growing, branched, double flowering strain, invaluable for

LOBELIA 
Compact Lobelias 
Very dwarf and compact varieties, growing about 4 to 6 inches 
high, each plant forming a dense ball of flowers. These Lobelias are 
reproduced from seed with much greater exactness than is the case 
with any other strain. Though usually grown for edgings, the blue 
and white varieties are very effective in small beds. 
12291. Sutton’s Large Flowered Cambridge Blue. A charming Lo¬ 
belia which comes quite true from seed, and is no doubt one of 
the most popular edging plants now grown. It also makes a de¬ 
lightful ornament for the conservatory when grown in hanging 
baskets. This variety was greatly admired by Her Majesty the 
Queen when inspecting Sutton’s garden exhibit at the Royal Agri¬ 
cultural Society’s Show held at Reading. Per pkt., 26c. 
12299. Sutton’s Dwarf Royal Purple. A distinct and beautiful dwarf 
compact Lobelia. The rich purple-blue flowers have a conspicuous 
white eye. Per pkt., 26c. 
12308. Sutton’s Aubrietia Shades, Mixed. A combination of beauti¬ 
ful shades of blue, mauve, purple, and crimson. As its name im¬ 
plies, this special mixture gives a display in summer which can only 
be likened to that produced by our Large Flowered Hybrid Au- 
brietias, which are so attractive in the early spring. Per pkt., 38c. 
Spreading Lobelias 
Profuse blooming, free in habit, and deservedly prized for large 
beds and borders where great precision is not of paramount impor¬ 
tance; suitable also for hanging-baskets, rustic work, vases, etc.
