THE MOST POPULAR VARIETIES 
BI.ACKMORK & I^ANGDOIV HYBRIDS. 
For many years, we have grown many 
different strains of Delphinium having 
in mind to supply our customers with the 
best obtainable. This strain without a 
doubt stands in a class by itself. It has 
the range of colors well divided in the 
pale shades of Indigo with a strong run 
of the most delicate shades of rose, double 
and single.

LAMARTINK. It is a deeper shade than 
Bellamosum and has a distinct white

Formosum but is much better grower 
and has better foliage and is not so sus¬ 
ceptible to disease.

SUMMER CLOUD. White. Strong grow¬ 
er and a profuse bloomer. It makes an

in floral arrangements.
