HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— FLOWER SEEDS 



9 



AQUI1,EGIA (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. 



Columbine 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. p^^ p^.^
