5. New Giant Pacific Double Del- 
phinium—4 to 6 feet. These are 
now generally conceded to be the 
finest strain of hybrid delphinium. 
The flowers are immense size, 24% 
to 3 inches across, double, and the 
colors are superb, ranging from spar- 
kling pure white, sky blue to deepest 
indigo-blue, purple, violet and those 
exquisite shades of lavender-pink. 
The flowers of hardly any two plants 
are alike, the color range is so wide. 
The plants are hardy, healthy, vig- 
orous, growing 4 to 6 feet tall with 
strong, wiry stems. The flower 
trusses are often 2 to 3 feet long. 
Cut the stems after the first great 
burst of bloom and they will repeat. 
Nothing in the garden can even ap- 
proach the majestie beauty of these 
wonderful Delphiniums. 
For this spring we have a wonder- 
ful offer of fine plants, grown from 
the originator’s seed. These plants 
are one year old, not as heavy as the 
2 year old, but full of vitality and in 
just a few weeks after planting them, 
you will be amazed at the glorious 
flowers you will have. These are not 
small, spindly plants but sturdy and 
strong. We offer them in this mar- 
velous mixture of colors. Never be- 
fore have we sold these fine Del- 
phiniums at such a low price. Order 
freely, you will be more than pleased.

inches. This is an improved strain 
of the old-fashioned spicy, fragrant, 
garden pinks. Double, carnation- 
like flowers in many beautiful colors. 
3. Day Lily, Fulva Maculata 
(Hemerocallis)—4 feet. Produced 
freely right through the hottest days

ers of coppery-orange shaded crim- 
son on tall 48 inch stems. Will thrive 
everywhere, any kind of soil, in sun 
or part shade. An established clump 
will have 10 to 20 blooming stalks, 
each stalk producing 15 to 30 blooms. 
2. Chinese Giant Lantern Plant 
—2 feet. The bright orange-scarlet 
lantern-like fruits will last all winter 
when cut and dried.
