Delphiniums 
For a regal show there is nothing to compare with the 
stately splendor of Delphiniums. These aristocratic flowers 
will provide the high-spot in your garden. They bloom in 
June and if cut back afterward will usually flower again in 
late summer and autumn. Plant the Belladonna type for 
quantity of bloom. The Hybrids are of magnificent quality, 
with spikes often 4 to 5 feet high and under favorable con- 
ditions even more. 
It is our experience that small young plants will transplant 
better than large clumps, and we are therefore prepared to 
supply them at a great saving in cost. Planted in April and 
May, they will bloom in late summer and autumn and be at 
their best the following June when their finest spikes should 
be produced. At our very low prices for these smaller plants 
you can use them in quantity and have a real Delphinium 
show right in your own garden. Not only do the smaller 
plants cost less, but they will produce better flowers and will 
live longer than the older clumps. We have set out thou- 
sands of these small plants with such splendid results that 
we do not hesitate to recommend them to you. (Note: Be- 
cause we have kept the price low, we cannot supply less than 
6 of a kind of these young plants.) 
DELPHINIUM CULTURE. Plant in deeply-spaded, 
fertile garden soil in a well-drained, sunny location. Set 
the crown of the plant level with the soil and do not use 
manure where it will touch the roots; lime well mixed with 
the soil is usually beneficial. Space hybrids at least 18 inches 
apart and the Belladonna type 12 to 15 inches apart.
