trumpets in a tone of pleasing rosy lavender, sweetly per-

nificent blend of all that is finest in Giant Hybrid Delphin- 
iums. It includes the Hollyhock Strain, the snowy Ice-

grant Delphinium, and the informal beauty of special cut- 
flower selections. There will be pale blue, mid-blue, ultra- 
marine and purple; varied shades of lavender, opal and 
lilac-pink; with daintier, lovelier color-tones that will

* DELPHINIUM (Annual) 
Do not confuse with the Larkspurs. They are on page 44, 
and they are a very different sort of thing from the annual 
Delphinium species and varieties described below. Definitely, 
your garden misses much if you do not have both. 
*DELPHINIUM CARDIOPETALUM—erx (3) 16. A little 
beauty. Violet flowers, green-tipped, and with exceedingly 
long up-curved spurs, are arranged symmetrically in. loose 
graceful spikes. No other Delphinium in the least like it. 
Though annual, it fits any rock garden, or use it for edg- 
ings. Pkt. 25c. 
*DELPHINIUM ORIENTALE—ernbkt(2) 28. A rare, and 
altogether different annual species from Kurdistan. Broad 
plants, long loaded with bloom, blossoms of richest tyrian 
purple, a striking, vivid, unusual shade of it. When it is 
in flower, visitors to Old Orchard are drawn to our beds 
of it as though by a magnet. Sow it early, while soil is cool.

*DELPHINIUM GRANDIFLORUM CAMBRIDGE BLUE— 
erbx(2-3)24. Chinese Larkspur. Large flowers of brilliant

perennial, but quick to flower from seed, and perhaps best |

clusters. Splendid cut flower. Pkt. 15c; 1/1g oz. 30c; %& oz. 
50c.

SOWING OF SEEDS. Don’t sow seeds of all plants 
at the same time, nor in the same way. The seeds 
of different species have widely varying needs. The 
final letter, or letters, in the series after each variety 
name tells how and when each kind of seed should be 
sown, explanation on catalog page one. For success, 
follow the directions.
