Tall Exglith DELPHINIUMS 
We are tempted to say that the improved English Delphiniums are the most beau 
tiful hardy plants in cultivation, blooming all summer, coming up year after year, 
sending aloft successive shafts of incredible color to a height of 5, 6, or 8 feet. It is 
doubtful if any other plant so superb as Delphinium ever graced a garden 
Few people are aware of the perfection to which the ancient flower has been 
brought by modern plant breeding, how easily it can be planted and grown, and how 
lasting a delight the gardener secures who plants Delphinium. If everyone knew, 
tall hardy Delphiniums would be more in evidence everywhere

PINK BABY’S BREATH 
Flaminga —> 
Rocking gently on their slender 
threadlike stems, great masses of small 
double starlike flowers drowse through 
the long somnolent summer months 
The color is pink, very delicate and 
lovely. As autumn approaches and the 
weather gets cooler, the color deepens 
to a warmer richer pink shade. But this 
is not all. In addition to its charm in 
the garden, Baby's Breath is indispens 
able for mixing with other flowers to 
lighten and add charm and grace to the 
more massive bouquets. Each, 75c; doz.,

Bristol Fairy 
Gypsophila, Bristol Fairy, is incomparably 
the finest of the Baby's Breath. It is truly a 
wonderful introduction, producing large pani 
cles of double, white flowers on which the 
individual blossom is larger than anything 
that has gone before, and the color is the 
purest white. It flowers continuously and pro- 
tusely throughout the season. Three, $1.50;
