J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 

 THE LOVELY COLUMBINES OR AQUILEGIAS. 



Old time favorites by I'eason of their uniquely 

 formed flowers, held so gracefully on loug sleuder 

 stems and the fact that they flower for a long 

 period during late spring and through the sum- 

 mer. 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 

 nearly or quite two feet except A. flabellata nana 

 which grows but about twelve inches. The foliage 

 of all reseml)les Maiden Hair Fern and is very 

 beautiful. 



Canadensis. Wild Honeysuckle.— Bright red and 

 yellow flowers held gracefully on very long stems. 

 Of strong growth and a free bloomer.

The improvement made during recent years in 

 this old favorite flower is truly surprising. The 

 flowers are not only larger and more brilliant, but 

 of every imaginable color, and the clusters are finer 

 and are produced more freely, during June and 

 July. Very fragrant and especially valuable for 

 entting.

 of this grand old flower. All colors mixed.
