A splendid race
of these popular
hardy garden
plants. The seed
has been saved
from one of the
choicest named
collections in Eng-
land; all carefully
hybridized, so
that plants,
spikes and flowers
of magnificent
proportions will
be produced. The
DELPHINIU.M GRA.NDIPLORUM FL. PL.
ndividual blossoms are of immense size, semidouble and perfectly
double, dressing the graceful, towering spikes for from 2 to 5 feet of their length. The
colors and shades are wonderfully lovely and varied, ranging from pure white and most
chaste lavender up through every conceivable shade of blue to deep indigo and purple;
several shades being blended in some of the varieties. The plants are tall growers,
from 6 to 10 feet in height; there are but few plants that contribute so much to
the beauty of garden or herbaceous border. By cutting of the spikes immediately after
flowering, these Delphiniums ma.v be had in bloom for several months.

(Dianthus Heddewigii hybrid a

One of the most beautiful and
satisfactory of all annuals for sum-
mer flower gardens. Unrivaled lor
brilliancy and rfch variety of color,
the plants are bushy, of symmet-
rical form, about 1 foot. The flow-
ersare immense, averaging6 inches
in circumference, are densely
double, and are produced in perfect
succession during the whole sum-
mer and autumn in such numbers
as fairly to crowd ea.h other for
room. There is a wonderful di-
versity of colors, from purest satiny
white to red shades so deep and
intensely brilliant that the eye can
scarcely penetrate their velvety
depths; soft pinks and flesh tints
more dainty than brush could lay;
and a large proportion of flowers
hieroglypliically marked with vari-
ous hues, the delicate tints and deep
tones mingling In exquisite con-
trast. .See rut.)

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
