DELPHINIUMS 
Delphiniums like a deep rich soil. If cut 
down to the ground after blooming they will 
flower two or three times during the season. 
The height is from 3 to 7 feet and individual 
blossoms are up to 2 y 2 in. diameter. 
Last year our delphiniums were the mar¬ 
vel of all beholders, such flaming blues, 
such clear lavenders, clear whites with yel¬ 
low brown or velvety black bees; wonder¬ 
fully large blossoms, beautifully set on the 
stem; long full laterals as full of flowers 
as a main stem; in short, every good and 
fine quality that the new delphinium can 
have are collected here. 
We have bought the finest seed from 
everywhere, taken the choicest plants from 
these, gathered their seed and the result 
we offer you here in seed and seedlings 
that will bloom this summer.

Choice seedlings $2.00 a dozen.

very little staking. The foliage is dark 
green and disease resistant. If cut to the 
ground after blooming will throw up new 
growth and bloom three times where the 
season is long. $3.50.
