horticulturists will readily realize.

Belladonna Improved that is on the market to- 
day.

years, we have grown many different strains of 
Delphinium having in mind to supply our custom-

MEG. GARDNER 
Each year that this is with us, we become 
more and more convinced that Meg. Gard- 
ner is tops in the Sweet Pinks group and 
that it’s going to take a long time for 
any variety to surpass it. It’s a plant 
with a personality, difficult to describe 
but immediately captivating. A medium 
dwarf variety, produces distinct white 
flowers with a vivid crimson center, each 
one a delicate miniature that might well 
have sprung from an artist’s brush. These 
are neatly arranged over compact plants, 
foliage steel gray.
