D elphiniums, Latest and Best 
These are among the finest of perennials. All are beautiful, hardy, and live and 
bloom freely for years. Prevailing colors are blue and violet with intermediate shades. 
The culture is very simple. Plant in good moist friable loam. With old manure mulch¬ 
ing twice a year, the life and growth of the plants will be promoted for many years, 
increasing their size and beauty every season. Under the best conditions, the better 
Hybrid Delphiniums will attain six or seven feet in height and perhaps even more, with 
large flowers borne closely upon long spikes. Cropped to six inches after blooming, a 
new lot of stalks will soon develop and bloom. The varieties offered below are ex¬ 
tremely valuable during the early months of summer and are very effective in the border.
