Delphinium —Hardy Larkspur 
Delphiniums are among the most beautiful and most widely used perennials for 
garden display and cutting. The regal stateliness of their massive, colorful \ 
spikes is unequalled by any other flower. They are of easy culture, succeeding 
best in deep, rich, well-drained soil. Bloom in June, and if spikes are cut close 
to the ground after blooming, new flowering growth will be produced—usually 
three crops are to be had in one season. Blooms the first year if sown early.
