winter. Blooms in August and September. 

 There are red and pink varieties, but as a 

 white flower it is one of the garden queens; 

 and who does not always prefer a white flower .'^ 

 It will do well in partial shade, and is quite 

 hardy, but needs some slight covering in 

 winter. Can be used satisfactorily both in 

 borders and in beds by itself. 



Aquilegia (Columbine). 2 to 3 feet. Plant 

 early in the spring, or after September 15th. 

 Blooms the end of May and June. An impor- 

 tant, beautiful perennial. The long-spurred 

 flowers are of many beautiful colors and 

 always a great source of delight to the flower 

 lover. Planted in partial shade, in front of 

 azaleas, laurel, rhododendron or ferns, it is 

 particularly delightful. 



Aster, Hardy (Michaelmas Daisy, or 

 Starwort). 1 to 4 feet. Plant in the spring. 

 Blooms from the middle of August until frost. 

 Our common roadside aster; in many colors, 

 from white through the pink, lavender and 

 purple shades. Very effective and beautiful.
