Digitalis Montrosa, Mixed Colors. A very 
unique and beautiful type, producing long spikes

this strain is the enormous bell-shaped blossom that tops 
each spike of flowers. (See cut.) . 
Giant Double Hybrids. 
A splendid race of these popular hardy garden 
plants. The seed has been saved from one 
of the choicest named collections in Eng¬ 
land, all carefully hybridized, so that 
plants, spikes and flowers of magnifi¬ 
cent proportions will be produced. 
The individual blossoms are of im¬ 
mense size, semi-double and per¬ 
fectly double, dressing the grace¬ 
ful, towering spikes for from 2 to 
5 feet of their length. The colors 
and shades are wonderfully 
lovely and varied, ranging from 
pure white and most chaste 
lavender up through every 
conceivable shade of blue to 
deep indigo and purple, sev¬ 
eral shades being blended in 
some of the varieties. The 
plants are tall growers, from 
6 to 10 feet in neight; there 
are but few plants that con¬ 
tribute so much to the beauty 
of garden or herbaceous bor¬ 
der. By cutting off the spikes 
immediately after flowering, 
these Delphiniums may be had 
in bloom for several months.
