AQUILEGIA (Columbine) 



No hardy plant grown from sccd is more easily handled than the Columbine. 



Seed may be sown in the open ground earlj' in spring, and will, in most cases 

 bloom the same season; or they may be planted in August or September, and 

 will come up earlj' in spring and make vigorous plants, which will bloom abundanth* 

 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 airj- a grace as the 

 Columbine, is more generous of its blooms, or more effectively adapted for cut 

 flowers.
