DELPHINIUM - Larkspur 
Stately and handsome summer-flowering, herbaceous perennials of un¬ 
surpassable beauty. Few plants lend a greater attraction to the border 
in early summer. Fortunately they can be grown in every garden, but 
in warm, dry parts of the country they do not live long. Best results 
ore obtained in our cooler regions, especially along the Pacific and 
Atlantic coasts. 
Culture. Delphiniums require a rich, generous and well-drained soil. 
On soils of a light or medium nature dig in plenty of well-decayed 
manure. In those of a heavy nature it is desirable to fork up the sub¬ 
soil and compost of two parts loam and one of equal proportions of 
decayed manure and sand. The plants are best grown in groups of three 
or six. Allow a distance of at least 18 inches to 2 feet between the 
plants. Planting may be done in autumn or early spring. Remove faded 
flowers, and on no account allow seeds to develop, then a second crop 
of flowers may be expected later on.

This is one of the newest and at present the most popular strains of 
the garden Delphinium. It is distinct because of its broad, conicol spike 
and enormous individual flowers, 1 1 / 2-2 inches in diameter, in all shades 
of blue blended with mauve and violet. Also contains some fine clear 
white types. 
Blackmore and Langdon Hybrids Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00,100 $25.00 
This English strain is one of the finest developments in the Delphinium 
family. The flowers are enormous, produced on solid, erect spikes of 
great height and rigidity. The colors lie in delicate shades of blue, 
mauve, and pink. Combines landscape value with a grace and elegance 
fbr cutting unsurpassed in this family of plants. 
Gold Medal Hybrids Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00

This is a fine English improvement over the common Belladonna. Grow¬ 
ing much taller, many more flowers to each spike and of a brighter 
color. Altogether a fine improvement. 
Fanny Stormonth Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
A lovely pale blue variety growing about four to five feet high, pro¬ 
ducing its flower spikes in goodly numbers. One of the best kinds of 
its color.

Excellently suited for cutting as well as for colorful effects in the garden. 
DELPHINIUM BELLADONNA 
The Belladonna Delphinium does not grow quite as tall as the popular 
English Hybrids, but they produce more spikes and are more graceful, 
therefore, more useful for cutting. In fact, they are our loveliest early 
blue flowers for that purpose. They require the same care and treat¬ 
ment as suggested for the English Hybrids, but may be planted a little 
closer together, 12 inches apart is sufficient space for them. Their 
lovely blue spikes are about 3 or 4 feet high and produced in June and 
again in September.

DELPHINIUM CHINENSE - Chinese Delphinium 
The Chir>€se Delphiniums differ materially from the Belladonna or 
English Hybrids. They rarely grow over three feet in height and bloom 
about three or four weeks later. The foliage of this variety is almost 
fernlike, the plants are more graceful and the flowers, which grow in 
panicles, are of an intense gentian-blue. A lovely thing for the border. 
Require same treatment as English Delphiniums. They should be planted 
about 10 to 12 inches apart. Their roots are much smaller than those 
of the English Hybrids.

HEMEROCALLIS - Lemon Lilies

for the waterside, naturalizing in grass, or growing in the fxartially 
shaded border. 
Cutture. Any kind of soil will grow these plants successfully. They prefer

masses. Plant one to two feet apart in autumn or spring. Lift, divide

high; producing delicately perfumed rose-pink blossorns. The flowers 
completely cover the plant not only in spring but again in Mrly autumn. 
As an edging plant in front of evergreens or shrubs, it is unequalled. 
It also forms a splendid low hedge along garden walks and around 
flower beds. ... j -i ■ 
Culture. It prefers a sunny position in well-drained sandy soil. In order 
to keep the evergreen foliage perfect, protect it with a little straw 
during the coldest part of the winter. The plants will withstand temper¬ 
atures as low as 10 below zero. Water sparingly in summer. Daphnes
