No garden is complete without a nice planting of Delphinium. The 
tall spikes make a lovely background for lower growing perennials. 
They begin to bloom early in June, and will continue until frost if the 
old spike is cut off as soon as the blossoms fall and the root is well 
watered. 
ESPECIALLY SELECTED PLANTS 
During the blooming season, the plants producing the very finest 
spikes were marked in our fields. These plants have large double florets 
in a variety of colors. There are dark blues, light blues, royal purples,
