ducing its flower spikes in goodly numbers. One of the best kinds of 
its color. 
' 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 
ore of easy culfure and look splendid combined with the blue hybrids. 
For a succession of blooms, do not permit seed to form.

Excellently suited for cutting as well as for colorful effects in the garden. 
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 cuffing. 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.

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.

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 opart, in sunny, dry places in the rock garden, rock wall 
or on the margin of the border. All love lime and gritty soils.

however, several shades darker, more like the color of the Paul Neyron 
rose. 
Plumarius, Bristol Maid Three $1.40, Doz. $4.00, 100 $25.00 
A very large double flower of excellent form; rose-pink with a faint 
lavender shading. Makes a neat plant, very free flowering.

entire summer, and they also furnish elegant flowers for bouquets.
