Corydalis Cheilanthifolia (See page 30) 
CLEMATIS, Dwarf - Shrubby Clematis 
Here we deal only with the herbaceous species, the stems of which die 
down in autumn, and that are of a bushy and non-climbing habit. 
Those offered are suitable for the mixed border, and make a very 
effective display when in flower. 
Culture. They prefer a chalky, well-drained loam. Where this is not 
available, mix plenty of lime with the soil. Plant in autumn or spring. 
In autumn cut the stems back to the soil, and give a good mulching 
of well-decayed manure. 
Davidiana Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
A most desirable variety, with fresh, bright green foliage and tubular, 
bell-shaped flowers of deep lavender-blue during August and September; 
deliciously fragrant. 214 feet high. 
Davidiana, Azure Each 60c, Doz. $6.00 
Same growth as Davidiana but with azure-blue flowers, delightfully fra- 
grant; fine border plant which does well in light shade. Grows in any 
soil and has no insect pests which bother it. 
Davidiana, Profusion Each 60c, Doz. $6.00 
Another fine hybrid of this worth-while border plant. Deep blue flowers 
in great profusion, sweetly scented. Hardy as an oak, no insect pests, 
Goes well on any soil. Easily one of the best of summer-flowering border 
plants. 
Integrifolia coerulea Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
A good border plant, growing from 18 to 24 inches high, producing its 
interesting porcelain-blue flowers from June to August. 
Mandchurica Three $1.50, Doz. $5.00, 100 $30.00 
Here we have an exceptionally good plant for cutting. When established 
this variety will send up in July spikes about 3 feet high which are 
superb for cutting. The white, fragrant flowers are loosely spaced on 
wiry branches and mix nicely with other cut flowers. In the hardy border 
it grows into a large, graceful clump that blends well with other plants. 
It is an iron-clad plant. Nothing bothers it and it will withstand the 
lowest temperatures encountered in this country. 
Recta Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
Grows from 2 to 3 feet high, and produces fragrant, pure white flowers

DELPHINIUM BELLADONNA 
The Belladonna Delphinium does not grow quite as tall as the popular 
English Hybrids, but they produce more spikes and are more graceful, 
therefore, more useful for cutting. In fact, they are our loveliest early 
blue flowers for that purpose. They require the same care and treat- 
ment as suggested for the English Hybrids, but may be planted a little 
closer together, 12 inches apart is sufficient space for them. Their 
lovely blue spikes are about 3 or 4 feet high and produced in June and 
again in September. 
Belladonna. Light sky-blue. 
l-year-old plants Three $1.00, Doz. $3.50, 100 $15.00 
2-year-old plants Three $1.15, Doz. $3.75, 100 $18.00 
Bellamosa. A dark blue form of Belladonna.

Belladonna, Cliveden Beauty Three $1.45, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
This is a fine English improvement over the common Belladonna, grow- 
ing much taller, many more flowers to each spike and of a brighter 
color. Altogether a fine improvement. 
Belladonna, Lamartine Three $1.25, Doz. $4.00, 100 $20.00 
The rich indigo-blue flowers are freely produced on branching stems. 
Excellently suited for cutting as well as for colorful effects in the garden. 
DELPHINIUM CHINENSE - Chinese Delphinium 
The Chinese Delphiniums differ materially from the Belladonna or 
English Hybrids. They rarely grow over three feet in height and bloom 
about three or four weeks later. The foliage of this variety is almost 
fernlike, the plants are more graceful and the flowers, which grow in 
panicles, are of an intense gentian-blue. A lovely thing for the border. 
Require same treatment as English Delphiniums. They should be planted 
about 10 to 12 inches apart. Their roots are much smaller than those 
of the English Hybrids. 
Chinense Three $1.15, Doz. $3.75, 100 $18.00 
A very pretty variety, with fine, feathery foliage and intense gentian- 
blue flowers in open panicles. 
Chineesadlbunt Three $1.15, Doz. $3.75, 100 $18.00
