Aquilegias or Columbines 



Old time favorites by reason of their uniquely formed flowers, held gracefully on long, slender stems, and the 

 fact that they flower for a long period; during late spring and through the summer. They are of the easiest culture, 

 thriving upon all soils, even though wet and shaded, and the flowers are so pure in color, so interesting and so 

 desirable for cutting, the Columbines are well nigh indispensable. They attain a height of quite two feet, except 

 A. Habellata nana, which grows but about 12 inches high. The foliage of all resembles a Maiden Hair Fern and is 

 very airy and beautiful.
