to 100 blooms. Our northern grown stock is 
perfectly hardy. 18 in. (Mixed Colors only.)

lavenders, yellows, blues, in the mixture.

enriched with humus. 3 ft. tall. (Mixed Colors

DICTAMNUS (Gas Plant or Fraxinella) 
An old fashioned perennial that is as perma- 
nent as Peonies and Bleeding Heart. The neat 
bushy plants with shiny, light green, fragrant 
foliage produce a great number of spikes of 
interesting florets. 24% to 3 ft. 
White. Creamy white with green veining. 
Rosy Pink. Especially attractive because of 
deeper pink veining.

Dictamnus plants are as long lived as Peonies. 
DELPHINIUM

Our plants are grown here at Moreton Farm from 
seed produced here also—a combination that makes for 
hardiness not found in much of the stock available now.

years on the West Coast. The florets of immense 
size are closely placed on straight strong stems 
often 6 ft. or more tall. Flowers do not shatter.

tightly on them. Pure white which intensifies 
the colors of the other varieties.
