The Delphinium or Perennial Larkspur is one of the indispensable flowers to our flower 
gardens. No garden is quite finished without it, as it works into so many places It starts bloom' 
ing in Tune and continues throughout the season until frost, if, as soon as the first bloom tails, 
the old spike is cut off and the root well watered. New shoots will soon appear and the second 
crop of blooms will soon follow. The Delphinium should be planted in full sun in mellow soil, 
enriched with welbrotted manure. Water as soon as planted. , , 
We will offer this fall two of the very best strains of Delphinium that can be purchased 
anywhere. Fine field run just as they come in the row, the best ones not picked out at 25c eac ; 
$2.50 per doz., postpaid. From either of the following strains. 
WREXHAM HOLLYHOCK STRAIN

Wrexham Delphinium 
The Aquilegias or Columbines are among the most elegant of the hardy perennial plants. 
They do fine in full sun, but are best suited to semi'shady locations. They are most commonly 
used in the long-spurred mixtures which cover a wide range of soft, delicate, distinct shades. 
Desirable planted in the long'spurred sorts where the separate colors are used to work out 
required color effects. 
We offer choice Columbine in the most sought-after mixture.
