ENGLISH DELPHINIUMS 
Blackmore and Langdon Hybrids 
Each 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25, 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.

Wayside Gardens Hybrids A 
Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50, 100 $30.09 
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, 11/2 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. 
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 Each 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25, 100 $25.00 
Light sky-blue. A great favorite for cutting. 
Bellamosa Each 65c, Three $1.65, Doz. $5.25, 100 $25.00 
A dark blue form of Belladonna. 
Belladonna, Cliveden Beauty 
Each 70c, Three $1.90, Doz. $5.50, 100 $30.90 
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.
