Aquilegias or Columbines 



Old time favorites by reason of their uniquely formed flowers, held so 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 nearly or 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. 



CANADENSIS. Wild Honeysuckle— Bright red and 

 yellow flowers, held gracefully on very long stems. Of 

 strong growth and a free bloomer. 



CHETSANTHA. Golden Spurred Columbine — Flowers 

 of rich golden yellow, with long slender spurs; fragrant 

 and very handsome. Blooms all summer, 



COERULEA. Rocky Mountain Columbine — (True). 

 Large flowers composed of five petals of bright violet- 

 blue and a pure white corolla — an effect both odd and 

 beautiful. The flowers are hung on long stems and are 

 freely produced during May and June and in lesser num- 

 bers throughout the summer. 



FLABELLATA NANA — A beautiful Japanese species of 

 dwarf habit, with glaucous foliage and pure white flowers. 



The expanded flowers are two inches in diameter with 

 short incurved spurs. 



GLANDULOSA.— A rare and beautiful species. Thes« 

 are wonderfully effective in grace and beauty, with their 

 immense long spurred flowers of the richest blue imag- 

 inable, surmounted by five short petals of pui-e white, 

 delicately marked with ultra-marine. Splendid for the 

 border or for cutting, and they succeed in any ordinary 

 garden soil. 



VULGARIS ALBA. Munstead White Columbine— An 

 elfective and elegant flower, pure white and hung on long 

 stems from May to July. Excellent for cutting.

 larger than those of its parent; are lemon-yellow and are 

 produced in the same lavish profusion.
