with widespread approval since we introduced it a few

6’ with straight sturdy stalks. At this point, however, 
it puts all delphinium precedent aside and instead of 
forming the conventional stiff flower spike, this plant 
twists and curls outward and down, literally spraying its 
beautiful star-like blooms in a mad cascade. The indi- 
vidual florets do not have the usual crowded effect but 
are set on separate little stems giving the whole blossom 
head a dainty and lace-like effect. A single spike of 
Royal Spray is a whole bouquet and several in a large 
display of other sorts, lightens the stiff effect unbe- 
lievably. $2.50 each
