AMARANTHUS 
These plants are strong growing and highly ornamental. A. 
salicifolius, A. Henderi and Princess of Wales form splendid pot- 
plants, and are also very effective for centers of beds and backgrounds 
of borders. A. melancholicus ruber is a very excellent bedding plant, 
contrasting well with Golden Feather, Cineraria maritima, etc. 
Sow the seed in a hotbed in April, and set out the latter part of May.

Aquilegia 
AQUILEGIA (Columbine) 
This pretty and interestingly varied genus of plants scarcely meets 
with the amount of consideration it deserves. When fully estab- 
lished the Aquilegias will stand frost well, and the earliness and 
abundance of their blooms ought to render them general favorites. 
Many of the varieties are extremely beautiful. Hardy perennials.
