: . ‘ DELPHINIUMS-—tardy Larkspur 
_ Delphiniums are among the most beautiful and most widely used perennials for garden 
display and cutting. The regal stateliness of their massive, colorful spikes is unequalled 
by any other flower. They are of easy culture, succeeding best in deep, rich, well-drained 
soil. 
Bloom in June, and if spikes are not allowed to go to seed, new growth will be pro- 
duced —usually three crops are had in one season. Flowers the first year if sown early.
