LOVELY 
The Blue Show Flower 
For a regal show in June and September there is nothing to com- 
pare 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. 
Small young plants, in our experience, will transplant better in 
spring than large clumps, and we are therefore prepared to supply 
pot-plants 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 fol- 
lowing June when their finest spikes should be produced. At our 
very low price 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 live longer than older clumps. We have set out 
thousands of these small plants with such splendid results that we 
do not hesitate to recommend them to you. 
(Note: Because 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. 
For a particularly brilliant and striking garden picture, plant 
groups of Delphinium in back of the gold, copper, and bronze of 
Daylilies. Delphinium and Regal Lilies make another combination 
that is breathtakingly lovely.
