BURGUNDY. This is the dull rich wine color 
of burgundy. Dark and handsome, giving 
a solid color effect that takes the eye of any 
spectator. The stalks are stiff and tall; it 
is of excellent constitution, with flower 
spikes of four feet and over, flowers of 
three inches and over, with almost perfect 
placement. It has fine, numerous laterals 
and the seed carry a high percentage true 
to type and color. 
CORNFLOWER BLUE. Cornflower blue 
double with petals that open very flat, 
with the edges turning back a little. Long 
spikes with long lovely laterals. Vivid blue, 
bright as cobalt, double, large flowered. 
Very striking. Lovely and charming. 
CRATER LAKE BLUE. This is the most 
vivid and loveliest shade of blue—the blue 
of Crater Lake at sunset. A white center 
and a tone of velvet upon the petals. Flow- 
ers around 214 inches. Greatly, improved. 
DESERT TWILIGHT. Double, with dark 
centers only. It gives a solid effect of the 
most delicate mauve. It fades and glows 
and charms. Flowers 3-3!4 inches, very 
long spikes, perfect placement. One of the 
most beautiful Wheeler Croft delphiniums. 
GENTIAN, The deep blue of Gentian Acau- 
hs. Beautifully shaped spike, about 5 feet, 
whose double flowers of lovely blue are not 
touched by other shades. Seldom needs 
staking and does not ever grow very tall.
