HART & VICK’S DELPHINIUMS 
THE CENTER of ATTRACTION in any GARDEN 
These are the most popular and certainly one of the most beautiful of all the hardy plants 
for display and for cutting. The tall spikes of flowers of many shades of color, standing erect 
above the dark green foliage, make a wonderful display unequalled by any other flower. They 
begin to bloom in June and by: cutting the flower stalks to the ground, as the crops of flowers 
fade, a second and third lot of bloom may be had. 
PACIFIC GIANT DELPHINIUM 
A new strain originated on the Pacific Coast by Vetterle and Reinelt. Huge flowers 212 
inches in diameter, beautifully spaced on well-balanced spikes, thin, 
strong, woody stems. 
Comparatively mildew-resistant, practically 100 per cent double. Seed grown each year from the 
Originator’s cross-pollinated seed. 
Black Knight 
Darkest of all dark blues with a dark bee. Giant 
flowers of heavy velvety texture on very long, well 
formed spikes. A great favorite in our display 
grounds. 
Cameliard 
Clear lavender, very double flowers with white bees. 
This is no doubt the finest lavender ever seen in 
Delphinium. 
Galahad 
Clear white flowers with a white bee and very heavy 
glistening texture, pyramidal spikes with well spaced 
flowers, good branching habit, strong whippy stems 
with a high percentage of mildew-resistance. 
Percival 
Enormous double white flowers with large contrasting 
black and striped center bees. Most attractive and 
showy. 
Summer Skies 
Clear light blue flowers, very delicately colored. Has 
a white bee. 
King Arthur 
Very dark vioiet flowers with white centers or bees. 
Probably as dark or darker in color than any other 
Delphinium. In our trial gardens King Arthur had not 
only the largest individual flowers but the longest 
spike and the tallest and strongest stem. 
Round Table Mixture 
Three hundred crosses were used to make up this 
kind that combines all the newest color develop- 
ments. The finest Hybrid Delphinium Mixture we 
have ever seen. At our display grounds at Fairport, 
N. Y., we had over 300 plants, grown from this seed, 
in bloom. Hundreds and hundreds of visitors pro- 
nounced it the best lot of Delphinium they had ever 
seen. We recommend this mixture of colors in Del- 
phiniums to every gardener whether he or she is a 
Delphinium expert or just starting to grow them in 
their gardens for the first time.

When you have set the young plants out im the garden 
where they are to bloom, cover them with Hotkaps (page 53). 
They will protect them from the heat of the sun and keep them 
from wilting and being eaten by bugs. Hotkaps are good garden 
insurance.
