DELPHINIUMS—Continued 
Belladonna Type Delphiniums are 2-3 ft. tall, hardy and 
everblooming and thrive in warm and windy climates 
where the tall ones usually fail. They are the finest of all 
delphiniums for cutting. Plants, 25 cts. each; 3 for 65 cts.;

annuals. Plants, 20 cts. each; 3 for 50 cts.; $1.40 per doz. 
Seeds, pkt. 20 cts.; '/£. oz. 50 cts., and I have the following 
adorable varieties.

Chinensis Blue Butterfly. 2-3 ft. Large flower of intense 
gentian-blue. 
Chinensis, “Tom Thumb”. A dwarf 12 in. high and a most 
lovely gentian-blue. 
DELPHINIUM, West American Larkspur. Here in California 
and Western America we have a large number of very- 
lovely Larkspurs. Quite varied in color, stature and form 
and entirely hardy and withstanding very dry difficult 
conditions; they give some of our most beautiful plants 
for the wild garden, with taller ones suited to the border, 
while the dwarf species, prefixed by a star are among 
the most lovely of rock garden plants. After flowering, 
these Delphiniums ripen to the ground and the root lies 
dormant until the next fall or spring. For this reason 
the location should be well marked or the roots should 
be dug, cured and stored dry. The roots retain full 
vitality after being stored as much as three years. In 
the East is best to dig and store the roots and replant 
the following spring. Soak roots two hours before 
planting. Culture of this group: Sit., sun. Soil, any, 
but good loam gives finer results. PL, dry roots in fall, 
or in cold region hold for spring planting. Prop., seed, 
third year to flower. Unless otherwise stated the fol¬ 
lowing have a single many flowered stem. All flower 
May to July.
