AQUILEGI A _ ( Concluded) 



LONG SPURRED HYBRIDS. 18 "'^ 



in. — The finest of the Columbines. ^„ 

 The krge flowers are of varied shades of 

 blue, lavender, red and white. 



Mrs, Scott Elliott* s Improved Long 

 Spurred Aquilegias 



Every so often a hobbyist will select a 

 specific class of hardy plants for special expen 

 ments with a view to improving them by breeding 

 or selection or both. Mrs. Scott Elliott has done for 

 the Columbine what Vanderbilt is doing for the 

 Delphinium and the California people for the Dahlia. 

 The new Columbine strain of Mrs. Elliott's is by far 

 the finest that has come to our attention in a decade. 

 Not only are the individual flowers larger, and the 

 spurs more pronounced, but the colors are brighter 

 and there is a greater variety of them. Each, 35c.; 

 dozen, $3.50.

 meritorious novelties among hardy plants introduced 

 during the last few -years. From early summer until 

 late winter it forms one of the points of attraction 

 in the hardy border. For general landscape effect 

 among shrubbery it is unsurpassed while it is equally 

 desirable for cutting.

 Although occasionally found in fields and meadows 

 throughout the United States, this is one of the most 

 unique and showy of all hardy flowers. Thrives in 

 all soils and produces numerous large, compact, flat 

 heads of bright, orange-yellow flowers — a color 

 found in no other perennial.
