HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA—FLOWER SEEDS 41 
AQUILEGIA (Columbine). 
No hardy plant grown from seed is more easily handled than the Columbine. 
Seed may be planted in the open ground early in spring, and 
will, in most cases, bloom the same season; or they may be 
planted in August or September 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 effectively adapted for cut flowers.
