YOUNG SEEDLINGS OF HARDY PERENNIALS 
For Early Fall Planting. Ready from SEPTEMBER ON. 
NO PLANT ORDERS ARE SOLICITED FOR 
LESS THAN ONE DOLLAR 
We sell annually many thousands of BABY SEEDLINGS to our 
customers, who dislike or are not successful with seeds. 
These seedlings are grown from our VERY BEST SEEDS. They 
are grown in the open field, assuring vigor and health and by early 
fall have made such a growth that the following year they will grow 
into large blooming clumps—a joy in your garden at a very small 
outlay of money. 
In extremely cold climates (New England and Canada) plant 
them closely in a cold frame and after freezing weather sets in and 
the leaves have died down give them the usual winter protection. 
In the Middle West and Southern states plant them right outside, 
either temporarily close together, or in the garden where you want 
them to grow next year, and during the winter give them the neces¬ 
sary light cover (or none at all, as they are perfectly hardy). When 
spring arrives, plant them in the garden 1 to 2 feet apart, accord¬ 
ing to the variety, and the next spring or summer they will be a joy. 
These seedlings will ship safely anywhere; we send them by 
parcel post carefully packed in damp moss delivered at your door; 
they will ship as well in the early spring (not later than April) as 
this fall. If wanted by “SPECIAL HANDLING”, which means first 
class and QUICKER delivery, please be sure and add 10c postage 
up to 3 dozen and 15c over 3 dozen seedlings. 
PLEASE DO NOT ORDER LESS THAN 1 DOZEN SEEDLINGS 
of any one variety or plants—it means too much trouble and extra 
expense in handling. The seedlings are so cheap that you can well 
afford to buy a dozen of one kind, and if too many you can divide 
with a neighbor.

18 STRONG SEEDLING PLANTS OF THE ABOVE that will 
bloom profusely next year, 3 OF EACH, SIX VARIETIES, 
NOT LABELED, NOT SOLD ANY OTHER WAY— so, 
please don’t bother about asking for 4 or 6 of this or that 
variety. Price $3.00 for the 18 plants, postpaid, including 
“.Si)ecial Handling”. 
OUR GUARANTEE: We will send you good, strong, healthy 
plants but should you lose any during the winter, we can¬ 
not and will not reiilace them next spring. Should you lose 
half of them, which you probably won't, you will still have 
nine plants left, some (jf which might be worth two to five 
dollars each. Most of the above named original plants sell 
for $2.50 each; Isla sells for $5.00. Please bear in mind that 
seedlings of the above hybrids will almost certainly vary; 
some should equal the i)arents (they could hardly excel 
them) and none are likely to be i)oor. 
BELLA DONNA SPECIES. These do not grow as tall as the 
hybrids, are easier grown and are more suitable for cut flowers. 
We offer the following varieties: 
PUDOR’S SAPPHIRE. A beautiful, brilliant, clear sapphire blue; 
large blossoms. Seedlings will come 90 per cent true. 60c per doz. 
Larger plants 10c and 15c each.

center; beautiful spikes for cutting. 50c per doz.; 3 doz. for $1.25,

1-YEAR-OLD DELPHINIUM CLUMPS 
Already bloomed in 1938. 
To ol)tain best results from delphiniums in your garden, a supply 
of young, strong plants should be kept up which flower much more 
profusely than 2 or 3-year-old clumps which have been divided and 
transplanted. We do not advise any more the purchase and plant¬ 
ing of 2 and 3-year-old clumps. 
MIXED PRIZE WINNER DELPHINIUM PLANTS. Grown from 
our pedigreed seeds. Field grown small clumps, 50c each. Choice 
selected plants of same size and age, $1.00 each. Plant them in 
September in cold climates; October in the south. Later plant¬ 
ings are liable to get winter killed for which we are not respon- 
sil)le. Next February and March are also good planting months, 
but April planting for Delphiniums is taboo; after March 5tli they 
are too much advanced for safe transplanting and shipping. 
{t's No plant orders are solicited for less than one dollar, un- 
less you add 25c extra for handling charges and postage.

Delphinium seedlings, owing to their slower growth, but all will 
bloom next year in your garden; they make a rapid growth in the 
spring.

Gentlemen: 
Please find enclosed money order for another 1/16 oz. of 
your “Pedigreed” Prize Winner Delphinium seed. I must say 
your seeds have so far produced seedlings far superior, both 
in vigor and beauty, far beyond a written description. Not 
that these are the only Delphinium we have tried; in fact I 
fully believe that we tried nearly every Important Delphinium 
Specialist both in the United States and abroad in building 
up our strain and we certainly have developed some “jewels” 
from your strain. We were forced to turn down many seed¬ 
ling orders due to the fact the demand far exceeded the sup¬ 
ply. Customers could hardly believe such Delphiniums ever 
grew. You may look for an order from us this summer for 
some of your White Wonder Deli^hinium seed. 
Yours truly, 
EVERGREEN NURSERY.
