 easy plant to grow, and blooms over a long season, 

 June until October. 



AQUILEGIA caerulea. This is the long-spurred blue 

 Columbine from the Rocky Mountains, the State 

 Flower of Colorado. It does well in a half-shaded

 white for several months in spring.

 Columbine of the Pennsylvania mountains succeeds 

 in sterile, stony places in sun and in shade. It is an 

 excellent rock-garden plant and can be used for 

 growing under trees and in places where other per- 

 ennials will fail. 



chrysantha. This is the tall, handsome, long-spurred 

 golden yellow Columbine which looks so ^veIl in 

 the border when combined with irises and other 

 plants that flower at the same time.
