AQUILEGIA (Columbine) 



No hardy plant grown from seed is more easily handled than the Col- 

 umbine. 



Seed may be sown in the open ground early in spring, and will, in most 

 cases bloom the same season; o- they may be planted in August or Sep- 

 tember, and will come up early in spring and make vigorous plants, which 

 will bloom abundantly during late spring and early summer. 



Columbines should be planted wherever their presence will serve to 

 lighten up a too stiff and formal planting, for no other plant has so airy a 

 grace as the Columbine, is more generous of its blooms, or more effec- 

 tively adapted for cut flowers. ^^^ ^^.^
