light shade and comes to perfection in full sun. We consider it the finest

a constant display of flowers the entire summer. Excellent for cutting.

cushion-like and compact. Stems 
DICENTRA - Bleeding Heart 
Old-fashioned perennials; also known under the name of Dielytra. The 
pociss named below have fleshy, brittle stems and finely cut, fernlike 
oliage. 
Culture. Spectabilis should be grown in a partially shady border. Eximia 
will do well in a similar position, or in the woodland. garden, or in a shady 
nook of the rockery. Plant in fall or very early spring, 8 to 12 inches 
apart. 
*Eximia Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
(Plumy Bleeding Heart.) A dwarf-growing sort, with beautiful, finely 
cut foliage and showy racemes of pretty pink flowers throughout the 
season. Too much cannot be said for this fine border plant as it is 
equally at home in full shade or sun and perfectly hardy anywhere. 
Spectabilis 
(Bleeding Heart or Seal Flower.) An old-fashioned favorite; its long 
racemes of graceful heart-shaped pink flowers are always attractive; 
it is used also for forcing in the house, and is perfectly at home in any 
part of the hardy border, and especially valuable for planting in clumps. 
STOKESIA - Cornflower Aster; Stokes’ Aster 
A very handsome perennial, with China-Aster-like flowers, that appear 
late in the season, about September. It prefers a warm, sheltered loca- 
tion. Should certainly be grown in all gardens since its flowers are most 
beautiful in form and color. 
Culture. Grow in a sunny, well-drained border in sandy loam, 6 inches 
apart. Plant in March or early autumn. 
Blue Moon Three $1.85, Doz. $5.50, 100 $35.00 
The immense light blue disc-like flowers are 5 to 6 inches in diameter, 
growing on stiff 12- to 18-inch stems. In the foreground of the bor- 
der they make a picture not easily duplicated. Stokesia, Blue Moon, 
is G vigorous-growing and free-flowering variety of exceptional merit 
and distinction. It is perfectly hardy and has no insects bothering it. 
It is of easy culture and flowers throughout the summer and autumn 
until stopped by hard frosts. A most worth-while addition to the hardy 
plant garden. 
FOOD FOR THOUGHT—As Well as For Your Flowers 
What your plants need is a balanced organic food, not just a stimu- 
lant, They need one containing in right amounts, those things that make 
plenty of strong roots, produce sturdy stalks, thrifty foliage and an abun- 
dance of good sized blooms. That’s exactly the kind of Plant Food we 
use at Wayside. _Much of our success in growing such unfailingly fine 
plants is due to it. Turn to page 123, and get the full facts about it.

[97] 
Delphinium : Larkspur 
Regal and dignified, they are the great midsummer favorites. Their 
stalks are heavily laden with blooms and their commanding stateliness 
is such as to cause them to be perennially popular here, as well as all 
over Europe. They range in colors from exquisitely delicate pastel 
blues, whites and lavenders to deep, solid colors in violet and indigo- 
blue. 
Because of their height, they make a splendid background for any 
planting. In any hardy border, placed in masses of three or six or 
even a dozen interspersed with Madonna Lilies, they completely “steal 
the show” while they are in bloom. 
Culture: Delphiniums require a rich, generous and well-drained soil. On 
soils of a light or medium nature, dig in plenty of heavy loam to give more 
substance. In those of a heavy nature it is desirable to fork up the sub- 
soil and compost of two parts loam and one of equal proportions of soft 
coal cinders, which help greatly to make the soil porous and well drained. 
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, but by no means cut the stems right down to the ground 
immediately after blooming. This should not be done until the old stalk 
shows signs of turning yellow and fading. Then a second crop of flowers 
may be expected later on. 
GIANT PACIFIC HYBRID DELPHINIUMS 
Here offered are the newest, the best and the finest to be secured any- 
where. 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. These gorgeous Pacific Hybrids are, unfortunately, not long 
lived, so for permanent groups in the garden we recommend either the 
English Blackmore & Langdon Hybrids or our own Wayside Gardens 
Hybrids. They are particularly fine for cutting. 
FIELD-GROWN PLANTS 
Galahad Series Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
Giant pure white glistening flowers with white bees often reach three 
inches in diameter, and are of beautiful heavy texture on 5- to 6-ft. 
stems. 
King Arthur Series Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
The color of this series is a rich royal purple with velvety texture and 
large white bee. The flowers are beautifully formed and carried on stiff 
thin woody stems. We consider these the most brilliant of Delphiniums. 
Summer Skies Series Each. 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
As the name indicates, this-is the blue of a summer sky, with white 
bees representing fleecy clouds; a color long sought in the Hybrid Del- 
phiniums. 
Round Table Series Each 75c, Three $2.00, Doz. $6.00 
This is a superb mixture comprising all available shades in Delphinium. 
Nothing yet has been created that equals them for sheer beauty, vigor, 
and quality. 
ENGLISH DELPHINIUMS 
Wayside Gardens Hybrids Three $1.75, Doz. $5.00, 100 $30.00 
This is one of the most permanent and at present the most 
popular strains of the garden Delphinium. It is distinct 
because of its broad, conical spike and enormous individual 
flowers, 1% to 2 inches in diameter, in all shades of blue 
blended with mauve and violet. Also contains some fine 
clear white types. For permanent groups in the garden this 
mixture has no equal. 

Blackmore and Langdon Hybrids Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
This English strain is one of the finest developments in the Delphinium 
family. The flowers are enormous, produced on solid, erect spikes of 
great height and rigidity. The colors lie in delicate shades of blue, 
mauve, and pink. Combines landscape value with a grace and elegance 
for cutting unsurpassed in this family of plants. 
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. Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
Light sky-blue. A great favorite for cutting. 
Bellamosa. Three $1.50, Doz. $4.75, 100 $25.00 
A dark blue form of Belladonna. 
Belladonna, Cliveden Beauty Three $1.75, Doz. $5.00, 100 $30.00 
This is a fine English improvement over the common Belladonna, grow- 
ing much taller, many more flowers to each spike and of a brighter 
color. A fine form for garden as well as for cutting.
