AQUILEGIAS - V 



IN THE GARDEN OF HARDY FLOWERS which is the garden of 

 permanency and of constant change — the most interesting and beauti- 

 ful of all gardens — the Aquilegias or Columbines (see illustration) 

 deserve a distinguished consideration and a place of honor. Lovely and 

 graceful both in foliage and bloom, exquisite in coloring, absolutely hardy 

 and thriving in sun or shade. These are the qualities that make a first class 

 perennial and place the Aquilegias easily among the best twenty hardy plants 

 in cultivation. Appreciating this we have made a specialty of them and grow 

 all the better varieties in large quantities. Many varieties of Aquilegias are 

 fine for naturalizing on rocky banks, in the grass of meadows, or on the 

 edge of brooks where they need no attention after being established.
