trumpets in a tone of pleasing rosy lavender, sweetly per¬ 
fumed. Whole plant is silvered with down. It may be 
handled altogether as an annual, since it blooms quickly

21 DELPHINIUM AVALON BLEND—*ecbx(2-4)60. A mag¬ 
nificent blend of all that is finest in Giant Hybrid Delphin¬ 
iums. It includes the Hollyhock Strain, the snowy Ice¬ 
berg, seeds of the better English named varieties, a touch 
of the rare Himalayan Vestitum, together with the Fra¬ 
grant Delphinium, and the informal beauty of special cut- 
flower selections. There will be pale blue, mid-blue, ultra- 
marine and purple; varied shades of lavender, opal and 
lilac-pink; with daintier, lovelier color-tones that will 
scarce bear a name. We believe that there is no finer 
nor more color-varied blend of Giant Hybrid Delphiniums 
than this, no matter what the name or price. Pkt. 25c; 
fs oz. 60c; % oz. $1.00; ^ oz. $1.76. (Plants of this ex¬
