DREER'S FLOWER SEEDS FOR SUMMER SOWING 



\ 



Aquilegia (Columbine) 



No hardy plant grown from seed 15 more easily handled than the Columbine. 



Seed may be sown in the open ground during the summer or early fall, and 

 will make vigorous plants, which will bloom abundantly next spring and 

 summer. 2 to 3 feet. 



Columbines should be planted wherever their presence will serve to lighten 

 up a too stiff and formal planting, for no other plant has so airj- a grace as 

 the Columbine, is more generous of its blooms, or more effectivelj' adapted 

 for cut flowers.
