MILLERS GIANT FLOWERING DELPHINIUMS.

These new early giant flowering Delphiniums are the result of cross-pollinization
of a large type of Delphinium Belladonna and the giant flowering Wrexham, or Hollyhock
strain*. They bloom early like the Belladonna, but have the same general character of
growth that has distinguished the famous Wrexham type,

Many of my plants grow 5 ro
"j 8 feet tall and carry immense big
i spikes, with 2 to 3j4 feet of bloom,
i flowers measuring 2 to 2A inches
I across.

These new Delphiniums* come
in a wide range of beautiful new
i shades of blue \rich purple, mauve
1 orchid, rose pink, rosy magenta,
sapphire and white, many with
wonderful two tone effects, some
have very attractive centers of
white, yellow, gold brown, tan
and black.

These stately and beautiful
plants' have many places in the
garden, set singly, or in groups in
the flower border, or among the.
shrubbery, and gorgeous effects
can be had by planting in large
masses by themselves.

Delphiniums cam be success¬
fully planted either in the fall or
early spring, (plant 18 in. each
way). They thrive well in any
good garden soil ; however, they
are heavy feeders and will respond
greatly with larger flowers and
more massive spikes, if a double
handfull of bone-meal is applied
and worked into the soil around
I each plant in the fall and spring.
A top dressing of lime is also
beneficial.

These new Delphiniums, if
supplied with plenty of moisture,
and the stalks cut back after
blooming, then given a supple¬
mentary feeding of some quick
acting fertilizer like blood meal,
tankage, or sheep manure, will
often bloom three times during
the summer.

A Stock of these Plants can be easily raised from Seteds.
