Pink Delphinium 
Ruysii Pink Sensation (Plant Patent No. 324)—This fine 
B> Delphinium, originated in Holland, was listed as Pink Ra- 
diance in the Borsch catalog. Pink Sensation is the only 
hardy perennial pink De!phinium now available worthy of 
the name. It is truly a sensation in the Delphinium world. 
The abundant, lovely blooms on sturdy stems are an inter- 
esting shade of salmon buff as they begin to open. This 
shade subtly passes to a charming salmon pink and finally, 
the fully opened blossoms become a wonderful rose pink. 
Pink Sensation produces an amazing number of blooms 
during late Spring and early Summer and again‘in the Fall 
if sheared. The plants branch freely, producing an airy 
effect. There is a wealth of flowers on the lateral shoots 
as well as on the main stalks. Delphinium Pink Sensation 
reaches 22 to 31/2 feet. It is large enough to be showy 
and attractive in large gardens but is refined and small 
enough for even restricted suburban qardens. 
Two of the many good features about Pink Sensation 
are its hardiness and vigorous constitution. It grows well 
in -oth hot and cold climates, often succeeding in sections 
where other Delphiniums fail. All this variety needs is an 
ordinary loamy soil that is not too acid and plenty of sun. 
It requires a well-drained place and water while growing 
but will withstand rather dry conditions when dormant dur- 
ing mid-Summer. Pink Sensation does not appear to be 
troubled by any serious pests or diseases. The plants should 
be placed 12 to 15 inches apart. ; 
We urge you to try Delphinium Pink Sensation becaus2 
we feel certain that you will find it entirely satisfactory 
and will enjoy it as much as we do. It is a reaily outstanding 
perennial both for cutting and beautiful garden displays. 
Cur field grown plants are available during the late Fall, 
Winter, and early Spring. We find it more satisfactory to 
ship vigorous plants from 3 inch pots during the other sea- 
sons. Strong, blooming size plants: each $1.50, three 
$4.00, six $7.50. 
DIANTHUS—Pink 
DIANTHUS—Indispensable, showy plants for dry sunny places 
or walls, and with very few exceptions, great lime lovers. 
They will tolerate a poor stony soil, but care should be 
taken that the soil is not too loose or sandy. While they 
rather resent too much moisture around the crown and 
foliage, they do require it at the roots. A top-dressing of 
stone chips yearly is beneficial. Most of these Pinks have 
tufted or matted, gray green foliage and produce spicy- 
fragrant blooms from mid-Spring to early Summer. A good 
cut flower and exceptionally hardy garden plant. Set the 
smaller types about 6 inches apart, the larger kinds about 
10 to 12 inches and shear after blooming. 
**Crimson—Handsome variety with large flowers of deep crim- 
son on foot-high stems. The double blossoms make attrac- 
tive bouquets. Flowers resemble a Carnation but the plants 
are hardy. 50c and 75c. 
*Don Henderson—Colorful double flowers of light rosy-red 
on strong 15-inch stems. Carnation-like but hardy and a 
fine cut flower. Introduced by Mr. Borsch. 60c and 85c. 
*<Little Joe—Without a doubt one of the finest all around 
rock garden and wall plants! The blue gray, 4 inch tufts 
provide a wonderful background for the flaming crimson 
red, single flowers. The blooms, carried upright on 6 to 8 
inch stems, cover.the plant in mid-Spring. If the dead flow- 
ers are removed, abundant blooming continues until frost. 
We highly recommend this variety. 75c and $1.00. 
*neglectus—The most beautiful of the alpine pinks in cultiva- 
tion. Neat little grassy tufts, studded with bright pink 
flowers, with a buff reverse, on 4 inch stems. A poor, stony 
soil. Mid and late Spring and sometimes again in the Fall. 
A gem but not difficult in gritty soil. 60c and 85c. 
Pink Lady—Someawhat more refined in texture and color than 
most double Pinks. The compact mats produce countless, 
semi-couble, pink blooms on thin but sturdy stems. 12 in. 
Excellent for edgings, walls, and rock gardens and charm- 
ing in flower arrangements. Each 50c, three $1.40, six 
$2.50; large size, each 75c. 
*Roysii roseus—Pretty semi-double flowering variety with 
bright rosy-red blooms on slender stems over fine green 
foliage. An easy sort that makes, for its size, a very bril- 
liant display in mid- and late Spring. 50c and 75c. 
Pizase Note—Other Dianthus are offered in ‘’Distinctive Hardy 
Plants for the Collector’s Garden’’.
