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.

WHITE HYBRID DELPHINIUMS 
Iceberg Three $1.10, Doz. $3.30, 100 $20.00 
Here at last we have a White Delphinium. The flowers are semi-double, 
double and single white on 6-foot stems. Graceful enough for cutting, 
still tall and sufficiently substantial to make noble garden plants. They 
are of easy culture and look splendid combined with the blue hybrids. 
For a succession of blooms, do not permit seed to form. 
DELPHINIUM CHINENSE - Chinese Delphinium 
The Chinese 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 
fern-like, 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. 
Chinense Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00 
A very pretty variety, with fine, feathery foliage and intense gentian- 
blue flowers in open panicles.

Epimedium Macranthum 
DESMODIUM 
Shrub-like plants producing long willow-like canes which give the plants 
a lovely effect. Its thousands of purple blossoms are a magnificent 
sight late in the fall. 
Culture. Any good garden soil will do. Plant in full sun in the hardy 
border together with purple and bronze Chrysanthemums or at the base 
of shrubs. Remove all growth in spring, cutting the plant back to the 
ground. 
Penduliflorum Each $0.50, Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00 
A lovely shrub-like plant for the hardy border or shrub border. Arched 
slender branches are covered with hundreds of drooping racemes of 
liquid purple flowers which make a gorgeous display late in the autumn. 
DIANTHUS BARBATUS - Sweet William 
This charming old favorite has been in cultivation for some three cen¬ 
turies. Strictly speaking, it is a biennial, but on well-drained soils it is 
perennial in character. There are single and double forms of it, but the 
former are the hardier and more easily grown of the two. 
Culture. Sweet Williams will succeed in good, ordinary rich soil in masses 
in the mixed, sunny border. Plant in autumn or early spring, 8 to 12 
inches apart.

DIANTHUS HEDDEWIGI - Japanese Pinks 
Flowers are very large and of the most brilliant colors, varying from 
pure white to the richest crimson, while many are beautifully laced or 
striped. For bedding purposes they are of immense value during the 
entire summer, and they also furnish elegant flowers for bouquets. 
Mixed Varieties Three $0.95, Doz. $3.00, 100 $18.00 
Their wide range of colors and markings are a constant revelation. In 
bloom from early spring until late fall, they easily are one of the most 
satisfactory Pinks for garden decoration or cutting. 
DIANTHUS - Garden Pinks 
A great selection of plants for the sunny border or sunny, exposed 
places in the rock garden or rock wall. In fact, no rock garden is 
complete without a liberal planting of the various Dianthus. In England 
where rock gardening is a well understood art, Dianthus are used by the 
thousands. They are perfectly hardy anywhere. 
Culture. Plant in ordinary good soil, which must contain some lime and 
should be well drained. Planting may be done in fall or early spring, 
6 to 10 inches apart, in sunny, dry places in the rock garden, rock wall 
or on the margin of the border. All love lime and gritty soils.

rose.
