Delightful DELPHINIUMS [Perennial] 
Delphiniums, called “Dels” for short. 
You now can have—most any sort. 
New colors, forms and types we see. 
Pacific Giants, most like a tree. 
An amazing and delightful variety of blues 
many in combination with lilac, lavender’ 
heliotrope, and near-pink. 
And the types or forms are as varied as the 
colors, many blossoms with a double set of 
petals instead of just one, the two sets often 
different in color. 
It s fascinating to grow in masses 'the vari¬ 
ous colors, all harmonizing, the way they 
come in my grand and glorious ‘‘SPEClAIi 
MIXTURE,” including the cream of all kinds 
listed on this page. Sow outdoors early in 
spring. Plants live over winter, increase in 
size and vigor.

DONG’S SPECIAD MIXTURE 
Field seedlings, many of which bloomed last 
year. Not large roots. I do not recommend 
moving large roots. Those I ship will thrive 
and bloom. 
SPECIAD: 10 roots $1.00; 22 for $2.00; 36 
for $3.00. Prepaid. (MIXED CODORS ONDY.) 
PESTER THE PESTS. Only insect I know 
of that works on Delphinium is some sort of 
red spider, louse or other “varmint” very ef¬ 
ficient in “mass production.” Shoot him in 
the eye first time you see him—shoot his wife 
and children, too—with some tobacco solu¬ 
tion. For mildew on plants, dust with fine 
powdered sulphur. 
NOTE: Delphiniums are very hardy. They 
begin growth rea,l early in spring. Is best 
to set these plants out when you do your 
early gardening. 
All Dels should bloom the second year. 
But here’s some news that’s good to hear. 
If sow the seed in EARLY spring. 
Some blooms you’ll pick first year, by jing.
