RAINBOW. This is the single blue and orchid 
flower that comes as large as three and one- 
fourth inches, has spikes up to fifty-eight 
inches in length, laterals over three feet 
long, and a long blooming period. It starts 
to bloom first and is still blooming with the 
later varieties. It has developed from one 
of the palest and poorest flowered delphin¬ 
iums which had the constitution of its wild 
ancestry, into a Cinderella of the delphin¬ 
ium world. Plants 50 cents each. Seed. 
ROYAL PURPLE. This is one of my most 
beautiful delphiniums. I have worked a long 
time to improve it. Spikes run almost four 
feet, wide at the bottom and tapering to a 
spire. They come in both light and dark 
centers; they are perfectly placed on the 
stalk and are flat, wide open, with centers 
like jewels. The laterals are around three 
feet with flowers almost as large as 
those on the main spike. A stalk may have 
as many as twenty laterals. It is a vigorous 
grower with four to seven spikes to a plant. 
Flowers run two and a half to three and a 
quarter inches. Plants $1.00 each. Seed. 
ROYAL SPIRES. Forty-five inch spikes of 
perfectly placed, flat, wide open double 
flowers nearly three inches across of soft, 
dull burgundy. The centers are of the same 
color with faint cream bands. Two and one- 
half foot laterals. Vigorous growth, around 
six feet in height. Crossed with its own 
color, with burgundy and with amethyst to 
bring new beauties to your garden and mine. 
Seed only. 
SUMMER SKY. This is a clear azure blue 
double; the blue of the summer sky. Spark¬ 
ling, beautiful, enchanting. It is crossed by 
hand with its own color so that a majority 
of its progeny may have this lovely color. It 
has long laterals and long spikes of bloom 
with very tough stems. It has white or fawn 
centers. Seed only. 
SUNRISE. This is a delphinium that I have 
worked years to get and now I have some 
very beautiful ones that have long, perfect 
spikes nearly four feet of flowers, ahnost 
three-foot laterals, and three-inch flowers. 
It is double; a blushing mauve upon azure 
back petals, with light gold centers or deli¬ 
cate fawn ones or deep gold beauties. It is 
very lovely. Plants $1.00 each. Seed. 
TAPESTRY BLUE. A deep old blue, with 
orchid tones, with all the charm and dis¬ 
tinction of the soft colors of old tapestries. 
It is nearly always single, very large flow¬ 
ered, grows tall, and gives a different tone 
to the garden. Plants 50 cents each. Seed. 
VENETIAN NIGHTS. A deep brilliant blue, 
dark and lovely; sparkling white center. It 
is double with only a little mauve upon it. 
This is the result of another long battle not 
yet won but coming. It has very long 
beautiful laterals and the flowers turn back 
with a slightly ruffled effect. Very limited 
quantity of seed. 
VIOLET. I have a dark one that is pure, deep 
violet and some very intriguing lighter 
shades of the same color. These are very 
promising aiul will have only seed to sell for 
some time.
