’ DELPHINIUM S—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 mulching 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 extremely valuable during the early months of sum¬ 
mer and are very effective in the border.
