AQUIUEQIA GLANDULOSA, OR COLUMBINE. 



Our native Columbine, or Honeysuckle, as 

 it is often called, is well known and generally 

 admired. The above cut represents a newly 

 introduced species from Siberia. "This plant," 

 says Mr. Breck, "is more dwarfish in its habits 

 than the common Columbine, the leaves are 



more finely divided ; it is about one foot high, 

 producing its beautiful flowers in June. The 

 flowers are large and rich sky-blue ; the inside 

 and margin of the corolla pure white. It is 

 one of the most desirable of the genus, propa- 

 gated from seeds, or by dividing the roots soon
