: -Delphinium—Aardy Larkspur 
Delphiniums are among the most beautiful and most widely used perennials for garden display and 
cutting. 
The regal stateliness of their massive, colorful spikes is unequalled by any other flower. 
They are of easy culture, succeeding best in deep, rich, well-drained soil. 
Bloom in June, and if spikes 
are cut close to the ground after blooming, new flowering growth will be produced—usually three crops 
in one season.
