DELPHINIUM—Larkspur 
This is probably the most popular flower grown. 
A stately plant which is unexcelled for the bor- 
der. They are also very desirable for cutting. 
Delphiniums like the sun and require good rich, 
deeply cultivated alkaline loam. 
Belladonna Improved “Cliveden Beauty”—tThe fin- 
est belladonna, growing 4 ft. high and having 
lovely light blue flowers. Blooms early and 
throughout the summer. Very graceful and es- 
pecially good for cutting. Each 20c; 3 for 50c; 
10 for $1.50. 
Bellamosum—Like the Belladonna except for hav- 
ing flowers of dark blue. Each 20c; 3 for 50c; 
10 for $1.50. 
Chinensis “Cambridge Blue” — Attractive plant 
with finely cut foliage. The “Cambridge Blue” 
is a new shade added to the Chinensis group 
which is a rich vivid light blue. The flowers are 
large and spaced on 3 ft. spikes. A free bloomer 
and fine for cutting. Blooms throughout the sum- 
mer. Plant in a well drained soil. Each 25c; 3 
for 60c; 10 for $1.75. 
“Dreams of Beauty” Hybrid—This is one of the 
finest we have ever seen. Has wonderful irre- 
descent blooms ranging from lightest sky blue 
to deepest gentian blue, some orchid shades, both 
single and double, some with pink fillings. Will 
bloom all summer if not allowed to seed. Height 
5-6 ft. Is unexcelled for beauty. Each 30c; 3 
for 75c; 10 for $2.00. 
Giant Pacific Hybrids, Mixed Blue Shades—One of 
the finest introductions. These spikes stand very 
erect and attain a very good height. Flowers 
are beautifully spaced and of the largest size. 
Rarely a single. Treat as other Delphiniums 
when planting. A good rich soil will provide 
better size and flowers. Each 35c; 3 for $1.00; 10 
for $2.50. 
“Iceberg”—This is the true white Delphinium. 
Every lover of delphiniums should have a few 
plants of this strain. They are especially fine for 
cutting, and used to set off the blue of our well 
known blue varieties. They grow equally as well 
as the Belladonna and should be treated the 
same. Each 35c; 3 for 85c; 10 for $2.50. 
Lamartine—This is one of the newer introductions. 
The plant has very pretty dark green foliage, 
and stands very erect. The flowers are a very 
dark blue, almost purple and quite large. Very 
distinctive as one of the dark blues. Blooms very 
well in ordinary soil with proper alkaline con- 
tent. Average height 3 ft. Each 25c; 3 for 60c; 
10 Gfor es libs 
*Nudicale—This variety will be found very inter- 
esting because of its unusual color. The brilliant 
scarlet flowers are borne evenly on spikes 15 
inches in height. Blooms in early summer and 
continues for quite a long period of time. Ef- 
fective in the hardy border. Will grow in sun 
with some protection or partial shade. Each 35c; 
3 for $1.00; 10 for $2.50.
