Delphinium 
The stately Delphinium has a place in everyone’s garden. 
Planted as a background for the Madonna or the Rezale 
Lily, it creates a color combination that is most desirable. 
They are equally as effective in a border planting, along 
a hedge or in clumps in the rear of the perennial garden. 
Five to six feet high. 
Our collection of choice Hybrids is the result of many 
years of careful selection in the nursery. 
The perennial Larkspur of today is one of the most 
beautiful flowers. None exhibits more splendidly the 
various shades of blue, the color of which we have so 
little amongst flowers in our garden. There is azure blue. 
gentian blue, the shade of sapphire and the hue of im- 
perial purple. The blue color, in whatever shade, is ever 
welcome in the riot of summer flowers, because nearby 
its effect is coolness while at the far end of a view it 
increases the apparent distance.

Belladonna 
(Pfitzer’s Improved Strain) 
The flowers of this hardy Larkspur are poised like a 
sky-blue butterfly on slender, stiff stems, away from the 
main stalk. They are of an exquisite, heavenly, turquoise- 
blue. 
The habit of growth of this plant is very graceful. 
Planted with Madonna or Nankeen Lilies, or in front of 
the much taller and formal Delphinium Hybrids, they 
create a lovely effect. They are one of our best cut 
flowers, and perfectly hardy. Established plants produce 
a number of spikes, giving three crops during the season. 
Four feet high. Extra heavy clumps of the true, unmixed 
improved variety, $7.75 for 10; $75.00 per 100.

Monthretias 
Montbretias are graceful, sparkling flowers of the mid- 
summer and autumn, reflecting the colors of the advanc- 
ing season and lending a charming gaiety and lightness 
to the borders. For the best effect the bulbs, more cor- 
rectly called “corms,” should be set only a few inches 
apart, and in groups of not less than ten, toward the 
front of herbaceous borders or shrubbery. Thus planted, 
the sheaves of narrow leaves and slender, wiry arching 
stems strung with brilliant flowers, like miniature Glad- 
ioli, have the appearance of little fountains of bright 
color—rose, scarlet, yellow, orange, red, often marked 
with brown. They will flower for many weeks (from 
August into late October) and set at intervals in a border, 
where blue and white flowers predominate, are delightful 
indeed with such gay patches of color. They may be 
planted from the earliest spring days until late June, 
according to the flowering dates you prefer. Their long 
lasting qualities make the Montbretias most desirable for 
cutting, so that it is well to have a few hundred bulbs 
set out in some byplace where the graceful stems may be 
copiously cut for house and piazza decoration. 
FIRE KING. Brilliant fiery scarlet with a golden center. 
This variety is very lovely for mass effect in the border 
as well as for cutting. $1.00 for 10; $7.50 per 100. 
GEORGE DAVISON. Pale orange-yellow, tinted with 
deeper orange externally. Very large flowers, good well 
branched stems. Received Award of Merit R.H.S. $1.05 
for 10; $8.00 per 100. 
GOLDEN WEST. A remarkably fine variety producing 
tall branching spikes and large well open flowers of a 
beautiful pure golden yellow without the least spot or 
shading. Makes a lovely combination with “Fire King.” 
$1.05 for 10; $8.00 per 100. 
HIS MAJESTY. Widely expanded flowers, remarkable 
for their great size, they are of pronounced rich yellow 
in the center, shading to brilliant scarlet with three seg- 
ments heavily covered towards their tips with a rich crim- 
son. The largest of all Montbretias. See illustration, 
Color Guide. $1.75 for 10; $15.00 for 100.
