Delphinium - Larkspur 
Try as you will, one can hardly say enough for these regal midsummer favorites. None quite equal 
them in the commanding stateliness of their profusely bloom-laden stalks. Their gamut of colors 
ranging from exquisitely delicate pastel blues, whites and lavenders to those of the deep solid colors 
in violet and indigo-blue, is but one of their charms. 
The giant varieties make an admirable background for any planting. They are the English varie- 
ties that are so intriguing as over there, they peep atop garden walls and hedges. 
CULTURE. Delphiniums require a rich, generous and well-drained soil. On soils of a light or medium nature dig 
in plenty of well-decayed manure. In those of a heavy nature it is desirable to fork up the subsoil and compost of 
two parts loam and one of equal proportions of decayed manure and sand. The plants are best grown in groups of 
three or six. Allow a distance of at least 18 inches to 2 feet between the plants. Planting may be done in autumn or 
early spring. Remove faded flowers, and on no account allow seeds to develop, then a second crop of flowers may be 
expected later on. 
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. A great favorite for cutting.

GIANT PACIFIC HYBRID DELPHINIUMS 
Here offered are the newest, the best, and the finest colors and forms 
to be secured anywhere. The range of colors varies from the palest 
shade of blue to the deepest indigo-blue and royal purple with many 
intermediary pastel tones of mauve, pink and lavender blendings. Among 
these new hybrids are flowers of huge size and fully double. They are 
particularly fine for cutting but not as long lived as the Wayside Gar- 
dens Hybrids which are particularly fine for garden planting. Many 
experts prefer to set out Hybrid Delphiniums in early fall. These young 
plants were started by us last summer and have developed into nice 
vigorous plants that will flower next summer for you with magnificent 
spikes of blooms. Space them 18 inches apart and plant in groups of 
three or more for stunning effects.
