Delphinium

Mr. W. C. Egan, the well known writer and a great admirer of Delphiniums, says: “There is no hardy perennial more easily grown than the Delphinium. It revels in full sunshine and a deeply worked rich soil with plenty of water during dry spells. If given these it will fill your heart with joy and gladness in the richness and profuseness of bloom.’’ Light and dark blue varieties.

Hollyhock

These need no description. They are good in rows, groups or inter- spersed with shrubbery. To reach perfection they should have a deep, rich, well-drained soil. Protect the roots during the winter with a straw mulch. We offer strong plants in double white, pink, yellow, red, and maroon; single choice mixed and Allegheny, a fine new sort, semi-double and fringed.

Aquilegia

Bloom in late spring and early summer; grow about 2 feet high and succeed in any ordinary garden soil. AVorthy of more extensive planting. Assorted colors.

Coreopsis

I.,arge, deep yellow, cup-shaped flowers, each on a long clean stem, making it especially valuable for cutting purposes. A continuous bloomer during its season.

Iris

No flower in the perennial border surpasses the Iris in delicacy of texture and color, or is more showy and pleasing in general appearance. They rival the Orchids of the tropics in their surpassing beauty. German and named varieties.

Oriental Poppy

For a gorgeous display of rich brilliant coloring nothing can excel the Oriental Poppies during their period of flowering in May or June, and whether planted singly or in masses their large flowers and freedom of bloom render them conspicuous in any position.

Platycodon

These a!e very closely allied to the Campanulas. Of upright habit, and they bloom through July, August, and September. Very desirable.

Dahlias and Gladioli

There is nothing in the summer-flowering bulbs that is more at- tractive or satisfactory than the Dahlia and Gladiolus. They will thrive in any good garden soil, but amply repay extra care and feed- ing by larger size and greater beauty of individual flower. Our list in both the named varieties and mixture includes the most desiralile sorts. Bulbs should be planted 4 inches apart and from 3 to 4 inches deep.
