HANDSOME LATEST IMPROVED DELPHINIUMS 
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 Del¬ 
phiniums 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. 
Spikes will grow to 4 ft. Flowers large, colors 
varied and beautiful. Continuous bloomer. 
ICEBUHG, 4 ft. A perennial that should be in 
every garden, plants branching, each branch 
bearing a huge spike of exquisite white flowers. 
KELWAY'S GOLD MEDAL. Superior and magnifi¬

contains all of the latest and best characteris¬ 
tics of the modern Delphinium including three
