DELPHINIUMS, continued 
light blue flowers with the large white eyes are very striking, and of this 
section Britannia is, I think, the very best Delphinium I ever saw. . . . The 
Delphiniums do not receive any special treatment here, being simply planted 
on a strong loamy soil in an open position. Some few were tied to stakes, but 
the majority do not require it, being so dwarf in comparison with the old sorts. 
This dwarfness of habit is a great gain, and the greater portion of the plants 
were not more than 4 to 5 feet high, yet carrying immense spikes of large

Delphinium formosum 
In tlift perennial Delphiniums or Larkspurs we have one of the most beau¬ 
tiful and useful families in hardy plants. The old Delphinium formosum 
is one of the few hardy plants which lias been pretty generally offered by the 
plant trade; yet it is comparatively unknown, although few things can be 
planted that will give more satisfaction, whether the object is decorative effect 
in the garden or dowers for cutting for the house. Messrs. J. H. Small & Sons, 
tiie leading florists of New York and Washington, have made quite a hit with 
it as a novelty in cut-fiowers. The flowers are intense deep blue, perhaps the 
•mst brilliant blue to lie found in flowers freely produced in long spikes; it 
blooms in June and July and continues for a long time in bloom, and if the 
plants are cut back after flowering will bloom a second time in the fall. Plants 
grow to 4 or o feet high, and if planted in masses about two feet, apart will pro¬ 
duce a splwidid effect. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz., $8 per 100. 
Delphinium formosum ccelestinum 
This rare and scarce Delphinium lias all the good qualities of the well-known 
Formosum, lint instead of dark blue flowers produces great spikes of exquisite 
light blue bloom, the loveliest shade of blue in the floral world. 1 have always 
treasured this Delphinium in my garden, but could never get enough stock of'it 
to offer. This season I have secured three thousand plants, which I can offer 
at a reasonable price. 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $12 per 100. 
SPECIMEN PLANT OF IMPROVED ENGLISH DELPHINIUMS 
HARDY PERENNIAL PHLOXES 
The beauty and usefulness of these grand border plants give to them a deservedly first place among hardy plants. For cutting, their 
large trusses go a long way in floral decoration. In color they range from pure white to the richest crimson and purple, and from soft rose 
and salmon to bright coral-red, all having a delicate fragrance. Perennial Phloxes succeed in almost any soil enriched with manure, but are 
much benefited by a mulching of decomposed manure in spring, and in hot weather an occasional soaking of water. If the first spikes of 
bloom are removed as soon as over and the plant given a good soaking of water, they will produce a second supply of flowers, thus continu¬ 
ing the display until late in autumn. These later blooms are often finer than the first. 
The following list includes a selection made by us in France, Germany, Holland and England during the last summer, as well as all of 
the very best of the new and the old varieties.
