DELPHINIUMS (Continued) 
Giant Pacific Hybrids 
This is the most beautiful of the Delphiniums. 
The stems are wiry, strong enough to resist 
high winds. Under good conditions, these plants 
will produce beautifully proportioned spikes 3 
to 5 feet in height. The individual flowers are 
large, 2 to 3 inches in diameter, of delicate 
shadings and of good form and substance. We 
strongly recommend the plants both for the 
bright landscape and for cutting.

bushy plants. Practically all its branches grow 
full length on which beautiful, golden yellow 
flowers are produced. If flowers are cut when 
ready, the plants will continue producing ex- 
cellent quality blooms with long stems until 
cut down by frost. The rich, golden yellow 
color is really very striking in practically all 
floral work.

GYPSOPHILA 
Baby's Breath 
BRISTOL FAIRY. This plant is well known for 
its true value as a filler in all types of floral 
work. Due to the unusually heavy demand that 
we enjoy each year, we propagate exception- 
ally large quantities. For this fall's sales, as 
usual, we have excellent quality field grown 
roots at a reasonable price.

FLAMINGO. It has the same habit of growth 
and flowering as the well known Bristol Fairy. 
It is a prolific bloomer; the first flowers, vary- 
ing from light pink to white appear in June and 
July. If these are cut, the plants will produce 
a second crop the first part of September and 
due to the cooler nights at that time, from 
thereon the flowers come a very good shade 
of lilac pink. These are very neat in appear- 
ance and when used in floral pieces they 
really create a very high class effect.

DOUBLE COLORADO. Produces double, pure 
white flowers on 18 to 24-in. stems. Our propa- 
gations are from the genuine Colorado roots 
and will produce the same type of Gypsophila 
flowers that you purchase from the wholesale 
cut flower houses in dry form throughout the 
winter months. A planting of these is a good 
investment. It will provide for you the genuine 
Colorado Gypsophila flowers for many years to 
come. You can use these freshly cut or you 
may harvest your fully matured flowers and 
dry them for winter use.

PANICULATA FL. PL. The old-fashioned double

pot plants that will give you outstanding

duces double white flowers. It is an ever- 
bloomer, from early spring until late fall, filling

field grown roots.

ROSY VEIL. In character it is in every way 
like the very popular Bodgeri, except that this 
variety comes out a very pretty pronounced 
pink, making a wonderful companion for the 
preceding. Rosy Veil is very valuable in floral 
work for very often this shade of pink will add 
the finishing touch to set off a design in beauti- 
ful style. Furthermore, by having both Bodgeri 
and Rosy Veil as fillers, you can create alto- 
gether different effects.
