GRIGOR’S GLANDULAR COLUMBINE, 
(Aquilegia Glandulosa, Grigor’s Hybrid.) 
This is perhaps the handsomest hardy perennial in cultivation. The plant 
is robust and leafy, the stems rise about two feet high and sometimes 
carry from fifty to eighty biossoms, each three and one-half inches across, 
with broad, spreading sepals of richest ultramarine blue surmounted by five shorter 
petals of purest white with delicate azure blue spots at the base of each, thus making 
it remarkably elegant and distinct. No description can do justice to its exquisite 
; appearance, and could we favor our readers with a sight of the bunch of fiowers 
before us, they would consider our praises as too mild. (See cut.) Per packet, 25 cts.
