Delphiniums, Larkspur 
DELPHINIUMS Larkspur 
The Delphinium of today is a grand and 
stately plant. Its tall spires of bloom, 
rising to a height of 5 or 6 feet, supply 
our gardens with a wealth of blue. They 
require rich soil and should be well wa- 
tered in dry weather. A mulch will help. 
If the spikes are cut as soon as they are 
through blooming, others will take their 
place.
