Delphinium ~ Larkspur 
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 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65, 100 $28.00 
Light sky-blue. A great favorite for cutting. 
Bellamosa Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65, 100 $28.00 
A dark blue form of Belladonna. 
Belladonna, Cliveden Beauty 
Each 80c, Three $2.00, Doz. $5.75, 100 $30.00 
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. 
ENGLISH DELPHINIUMS 
Blackmore and Langdon Hybrids 
Each 75c, Three $1.80, Doz. $5.65, 100 $28.00 
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 
Each 80c, Three $2.00, Doz. $5.75, 100 $30.00 
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, 1 Y2 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. 
tant Pacific Hybrid 
Delphiniums 
Here are offered the newest, the best and the finest to be secured 
anywhere. The range of colors varies from the palest shade of blue to 
the deepest indigo-blue and royal purple with many intermediary 
pastel tones of mauve, pink and lavender blendings. Among these new 
hybrids are flowers of huge size and fully double. They are particu- 
larly fine for cutting. These gorgeous Pacific Hybrids are, unfortun- 
ately, not long lived, so for permanent groups in the garden we recom- 
mend either the English Blackmore & Langdon Hybrids or our own 
Wayside Gardens Hybrids. They are particularly fine for cutting. 
FIELD-GROWN PLANTS 
Pure White Shades Each 95c, Three $2.35, Doz. $7.00 
Giant pure white glistening flowers with white bees often reach three 
inches in diameter, and are of beautiful heavy texture on 5- to 6-foot 
stems.

The color of this series is a rich royal purple with velvety texture and 
large white bee. The flowers are beautifully formed and carried on stiff, 
thin, woody stems. We consider these the most brilliant of Delphiniums. 
Light Blue Shades Each 95c, Three $2.35, Doz. $7.00 
As the name indicates, this is the blue of a summer sky, with white 
bees representing fleecy clouds; a color long sought in the Hybrid 
Delphiniums. 
All Colors Mixed Each 95c, Three $2.35, Doz. $7.00 
This is a superb mixture comprising all available shades in Delphiniums. 
Nothing yet has been created that equals them for sheer beauty, vigor, 
and quality. 
(Wayside’s CGamous "Blue Ribbon” Iris 
A truly wonderful collection of lovely new Bearded Iris has been developed at WAYSIDE GARDENS in recent years. 
These new varieties were created by American and European hybridizers. Genuine progress and lasting improvements 
have been made in the new varieties of Iris which we offer you now; in fact, so great has been their improvement that 
Iris which were considered without an equal a few years ago have now been relegated to a secondary position. 
Startling new colors and combinations of colors, heretofore unknown in any other Iris, are to be found in the new 
Bearded Iris. Of incredible loveliness, they rival the wings of the most beautiful butterfly. There are richer blues, 
purer reds, better pinks, finer and larger yellows, while other shades are remindful of smooth old ivory or fine porce- 
lain. Their colors are so delicate and ethereal as to remind one of their true kinship with Orchids. In addition to 
their great beauty, many have the added attraction of being delightfully fragrant. 
Of the hundreds of varieties offered to us by ardent hybridizers and enthusiastic specialists, those shown below and 
on the following pages were selected by us, as well as a committee of experts on Bearded Iris. These successfully 
passed the rigorous WAYSIDE GARDENS test of the “survival of the fittest.’ During the past few years we have 
grown goodly numbers of these new hybrids and our fields are a sight to behold when they are in bloom. 
Make room for some of these lovely new Iris in your garden. You will be enthralled with their dazzling beauty.

flowers at one time.

late. :

manner, rather than in the familar buttonhole-stitch style. The flowers 
are extremely large and full. Certainly one of the most outstanding 
Irises of the past few seasons,
