CHRYSANTHEMUMS, HARDY 
The inclusion of this excellent perennial in 
your garden makes it possible to have color 
in your border after the majority of hardy 
herbaceous flowers are past. They are valu¬ 
able for cut-flowers and all resist frost well. 
To grow Chrysanthemums at their best, 
have your soil dug deeply and enriched with 
well-rotted manure before planting. If your 
soil is heavy, add sand and humus. For best 
results, set them out after danger of frost is 
past in the Spring. Divide frequently to 
insure vigorous, healthy plants.

particular color. We have selected varieties 
which have fine growing habits, are very 
hardy, and most disease-resistant.

DELPHINIUM • Hardy Larkspur 
Undoubtedly one of the most attractive as 
well as popular subjects available for the 
hardy border. Their stately flower-spikes 
furnish colors and color-tones that no other 
hardy perennial is capable of producing. Set 
in well-prepared soil in the early Spring or 
early Fall, they will supply the garden with a 
succession of bloom from late May until late 
Fall, provided the flower-stems are cut back 
after each crop of flowers has faded. Do not 
allow seed to form. A liberal application of 
bonemeal in early Spring and middle of Sum¬ 
mer will prove very beneficial. 
Belladonna, Cliveden Beauty. All ex¬ 
perts agree that this strain is an im¬ 
provement on the original. It is the 
freest and most continuous blooming of 
all the Delphiniums. Theclear turquoise- 
blue of its flowers is not equaled for 
delicacy and beauty. 60 cts. for 3, $1.50 
for 10, $3.00 for 25, $11.00 per 100. 
Bellamosum. This is a rich deep blue 
form of the popular light blue Bella¬ 
donna, having the same free-blooming 
and other good qualities. 60 cts. for 3, 
$1.50 for 10, $3.00 for 25, $11.00 per 100.
