Aquilegia or Columbine. 



AQUIL,KGIA (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 the case of the single varieties, 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, per pkt.
