Delphinium, B. & L, Hybrids 
The Belladonna Type 
The plants of the Belladonna type, includ¬ 
ing Belladonna, Bellamosum and Lamar¬ 
tine produce loose graceful spikes which 
are in many cases better adapted to floral 
work than the heavier formal spikes of 
the Elatum Hybridum type such as Black- 
more and Langdons and Wrexham.

can highly recommend. It is the finest 
light blue for forcing or outdoor grow¬ 
ing. Vs oz. 30c, % oz. 50c, oz. $1.60.

any quantity. If interested write for 
ur prices by the quarter pound and

spikes for cutting or for contrast with the 
blues in the garden. Comes very true from 
seed. A oz. 35c, % ox. 60c, V* oz. $1.00, oz.

tin was one of the first in this country

many good qualities and beauty An¬ 
nually we import a quantity of seed

Giant Pacific Strain (V & R) 
Delphiniums 
A boon to Florists and Nurserymen 
The hybridizer of this strain had as his 
aim much more than tremendous heighth 
and size of spike. He has produced large 
flowers, but properly proportioned to the 
size of the spike to maintain proper bal¬ 
ance and gracefulness of the plant. 
The stems of this strain are wiry, strong 
enough to resist high winds, and while it 
is not 100% mildew resistant, mildew re¬ 
sistant plants do predominate. 
Under good conditions your seedlings 
should produce beautifully proportioned 
spikes 3 to 5 feet in height with only 1 to 
2 feet of foliage. 
The individual flowers are large, 2 to 3 
inches in diameter of beautiful shadings 
and of good form and substances. Many 
are double, some semi-double and single. 
We strongly recommend the Giant Paci¬ 
fic strain both to the grower of plants to 
sell and the grower of flowers for cutting.
