MOUNTAIN SHADOWS. Double, long spikes, 
perfect placement of flowers. Flowers over 
three inches usually. Long laterals. It is a 
most gorgeous mauve over blue. It is soft 
and glowing, a much deeper shade than 
Desert Twilight and one of my best. Plants 
$1.00 each. Seed. 
NEW BLUE. A soft shade of deep, medium 
blue; one of the most attractive shades in 
delphiniums, charming and appealing. It is 
softer than azure blue but in the same tones. 
Plants 50 cents each. Seed. 
OPAL. A large flowered single with the tones 
and colors of Australian Opals. It has a deep 
tan center set in flowers three and one-half 
inches across. It has vigor, long laterals, 
and an irresistible appeal. I cross it in its 
own color and with Cobalt Blue, and with 
New Blue, to get new tones and types as 
well as more of the same kind. Seed only. 
ORCHID. Light orchids over light blues. Very 
perfect doubles, largest flowers, very long 
laterals, attaining great perfection of color 
and flowers. Both light and dark centers. 
The upper petals often have an edging of 
blue that is most attractive. Plants $1.00 
each. Seed. 
PAINTER’S DREAM. This Delphinium is 
distinctive. It is double with rather narrow 
petals that turn and twist a trifle, rather 
ruffled. It has a tan center and is an almost 
indescribable blending of delicate mauve and 
blue. It does not have a spike over two feet 
long and very short laterals but it is of 
such beauty that every one who sees it, 
wants it. Very limited stock of seed. No 
plants for sale now. 
PASTEL. This is palest orchid over light blue 
and gives an effect of the most delicate 
coloring. The stalks are stiff, the spikes 
long, with plenty of long laterals, the flow¬ 
ers perfectly placed; the centers may be 
brown, black, fawn, or cream. It has a dis¬ 
tinction of its own and is a lovely contrast 
to the more vivid colors. It has but lately 
occurred in my garden and is a worthy addi¬ 
tion. Plants, $1.00 each and seed. 
PURPLE SHADOWS. A dark blue double 
with both light and dark centers. Over the 
dark blue are shades of royal purple. It is 
large flowered with perfect centers, long 
laterals, and loose spike. The blue is more 
prominent than the purple. It is very lovely. 
Plants $1.00 each. Seed. 
RAINBOW. This is the single blue and orchid 
flower that comes as large as three and one- 
fourth inches, has spikes up to fifty-eight 
inches in length, laterals over three feet 
long, and a long blooming period. It starts 
to bloom first and is still blooming with the 
later varieties. It has developed from one 
of the palest and poorest flowered delphin¬ 
iums which had the constitution of its wild 
ancestry, into a Cinderella of the delphin¬ 
ium world. Plants 50 cents each. Seed. 
ROYAL PURPLE. This is one of my most 
beautiful delphiniums. I have worked a long 
time to improve it. Spikes run almost four 
feet, wide at the bottom and tapering to a 
spire. They come in both light and dark 
centers; they are perfectly placed on the 
stalk and are flat, wide open, with centers 
like jewels. The laterals are around three 
feet with flowers almost as large as 
those on the main spike. A stalk may have 
as many as twenty lateral. It is a vigorous 
grower with four to seven spikes to a plant. 
Flowers run two and a half to three and a 
quarter inches. Plants $1.00 each. Seed. 
ROYAL SPIRES. Forty-five inch spikes of 
perfectly placed, flat, wide open double 
flowers nearly three inches across of soft, 
dull burgundy. The centers are of the same 
color with faint cream bands. Two and one- 
half foot laterals. Vigorous growth, around 
six feet in height. Crossed with its own 
color, with burgundy and with amethyst to 
bring new beauties to your garden and mine. 
Seed only. 
ROYAL VELVET. This is a brighter shade of 
royal purple with a sheen of velvet upon the 
petals. Very flat, wide open flowers, with 
both light and dark centers, sparkling and 
beautiful. Short spikes but I have crossed it 
with longer spikes to correct this. No plants 
for sale. Limited seed. 
SUMMER SKY. This is a clear azure blue 
single; the blue of the summer sky. Spark¬ 
ling, beautiful, enchanting. It is crossed by 
hand with its own color so that a majority 
of its progeny may have this lovely color. It 
has long laterals and long spikes of bloom 
with very tough stems. It has white or fawn 
centers. Seed only. 
SUNRISE. This is a delphinium that I have 
worked years to get and now I have some 
very beautiful ones that have long, perfect 
spikes nearly four feet of flowers, almost 
three-foot laterals, and three-inch flowers. 
It is double; a blushing mauve upon azure 
back petals, with light gold centers or deli¬ 
cate fawn ones or deep gold beauties. It is 
very lovely. Plants $1.00 each. Seed. 
TAPESTRY BLUE. A deep old blue, with 
orchid tones, with all the charm and dis¬ 
tinction of the soft colors of old tapestries. 
It is nearly always single, very large flow¬ 
ered, grows tall, and gives a different tone 
to the garden. Plants 50 cents each. Seed. 
VENETIAN NIGHTS. A deep brilliant blue, 
dark and lovely; sparkling white center. It 
is double with only a little mauve upon it. 
This is the result of another long battle not 
yet won but coming. It has very long 
beautiful laterals and the flowers turn back 
with a slightly ruffled effect. Very limited 
quantity of seed. 
VIOLET. I have a dark one that is pure, deep 
violet and some very intriguing lighter 
shades of the same color. These are very 
promising and will have only seed to sell for 
some time.
