Attractive early-flowering perennials, suitable for growing on the mar¬ 
gins of sunny borders or in sunny places in the rock wall or rock garden. 
Culture. The varieties offered will succeed in any good, ordinary soil 
which must be thoroughly drained. They are best grown in groups of 
three or more in the rock garden, or as edgings to beds. Plont in fall 
or spring, about 6 to 7 inches apart. Alyssum Saxatile is frequently used 
for carpeting beds planted with spring bulbs, and is very effective for 
that purpose.

Wayside Gardens Giant Hybrid Delphiniums 
DELPHINIUM - Larkspur 
Stately and handsome summer-flowering, herbaceous perennials of un¬ 
surpassable beauty. Few plants lend a greater attraction to the border 
in early summer. Fortunately they can be grown in every garden, but 
in warm, dry parts of the country they do not live long. Best results 
are obtained in our cooler regions, especially along the Pacific and 
Atlantic coasts. 
Culture. Delphiniums require a rich, generous and well-drained soil. 
On soils of a light or medium nature dig in plenty of well-decayed 
manure. In those of a heavy nature it is desirable to fork up the sub¬ 
soil and compost of two ports loam and one of equal proportions of 
decayed manure and sand. The plants are best grown in groups of three 
or six. Allow a distance of at least 18 inches to 2 feet between the 
plants. Plonting may be done in autumn or early spring. Remove faded 
flowers, and on no account allow seeds to develop, then a second crop 
of flowers may be expected later on.

Sutton’s Hybrids Three $1.50, Doz. $4.50, 100 $30.00 
This is one of the newest and at present the most popular strains of 
the gorden Delphinium. It is distinct because of its broad, conical spike 
and enormous individual flowers, 1 Vi-2 inches in diameter, in all shades 
of blue blended with mauve and violet. Also contains some fine cleor 
white types.

fomily. The flowers are enormous, produced on solid, erect spikes of 
greot height ond rigidity. The colors lie in delicate shades of blue, 
mauve, and pink. Combines landscape value with a grace and elegance 
for cutting unsurpossed in this family of plonts.

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 ore semi-double, 
double ond single white on 6-foot stems. Graceful enough for cutting, 
still tall ond sufficiently substontiol to make noble garden plants. They 
are of eosy culture 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 os tall os the popular 
English Hybrids, but they produce more spikes and are more graceful, 
therefore, more useful for cutting. 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 plonted a little 
closer together, 12 inches apart is sufficient spoce for them. Their 
lovely blue spikes are about 3 or 4 feet high and produced in June and 
again in September.

The Chinese Delphiniums differ materially from the Belladonna or 
English Hybrids. They rarely grow over three feet in height and bloom 
obout 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 on 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 ore 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.
