COSMOPOLITAN DELPHINIUMS 
“The Finest in The World” 
ARISTOCRATS OF THE 
PERENNIAL BORDER 
The delphiniums I offer have over 25 
years of expert hybridizing behind 
them. They are bred to meet good 
commercial standards for height, 
length of flower head, size of florets, 
ample cutting stems, disease resist- 
ance and hardiness. 
Plants will average about 6 feet tall 
with florets ranging from 2¥2" to 4" 
across. Flower heads measure from 
18 to 60 inches in height and come 
nearly 100% double. 
Colors come in a wide range... 
combinations of blue, purple, laven- 
der, violet, mauve, rose, pink, with bees 
of white, brown, purple and black. 
These delphiniums have been 
proved to be hardy everywhere from 
the warm climates to the severe win- 
ters of Maine and Canada. They are 
really tough and will stand a lot of 
abuse. 
Planting directions with all orders. 
A money-making commercial flower. 
A good planting of the delphiniums 
will supplement your gladiolus income. 
They bloom in late spring at a time 
when good commercial flowers are at 
a premium. Second cuttings come in 
fall. They are always valuable be- 
cause they bring blues, white, purple 
and lavender colors to the flower 
market.

will find this to be a most remarkable 
strain, capable of winning in any

COSMOPOLITAN COLUMBINES 
Commercially the columbines are not 
as important as the delphiniums, but 
you will find that they will produce a 
good income for you. Many of the 
up-to-the-minute florists will use them 
in some of their modern arrangements. 
Their chief value lies in the fact 
that they are an ideal flower for the 
perennial border. They have a long 
period of blooming, not just a flash 
in the pan as is the case with many 
of the perennials. 
This strain of columbines were de- 
veloped from one hand cross and have 
been severely selected through the 
years. Plants will grow to a height of 
2 to 3 feet. Practically all colors are 
represented except black and green. 
The giant blooms range up to five 
inches when specimen grown with 
spurs from 3 to 5 inches. Columbines 
are especially hardy and almost never 
meet with disease problems. 
Those of you who are situated so 
that customers and visitors come to 
your gardens will find that there is an 
excellent market for columbine plants 
and, of course, you will find that they 
are one of the most successful of all 
flowers for your perennial border.
