:: DELPHINIUM, :: 
OR HARDY LARKSPUR ♦ Hybrids. 
A splendid race of these popular hardy garden plants. The seed 
has been saved from one oi the choicest named collections in Eng¬ 
land, all carefully hybridized, so that plants, spikes and flowers 
of magnificent proportions will be produced. The individual blossoms 
are of immense size, semi-double and perfectly double, dressing 
the graceful, 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, several shades being 
blended in some of the varieties. The plants are tall growers, from 
6 to 10 feet in height; there are but few plants that contribute so 
much to the beauty of garden or herbaceous border. By cutting off 
the spikes immediately after flowering, these Delphiniums maybe 
had in bloom for several months. (See cut.)
