Delphinium- —Hardy Larkspur 
Delphiniums are among the most beautiful and most widely used perennials for 
garden display and cutting. The regal stateliness of their massive, colorful spikes 
is unequalled by any other flower. They are of easy culture, succeeding best in 
deep, rich, well-drained soil. Bloom in June, and if spikes are cut close to the 
ground after blooming, new flowering growth will be produced—usually three 
crops are to be had in one season. Blooms the first year if sown early.
