HELENIUM AUTUMNALE 
RUBRUM 
DELPHINIUM

day or showing - greater improve¬ 
ments than Delphiniums. When 
Delphiniums bloom, from June 
till frost, their long, showy 
flower spikes protrude to a 
height of 3 to 4 feet, so that the 
plants belong in the background 
of perennial groups, or in the 
foreground between shrubs.

the finest developments in the 
Delphinium family. The flowers
