No hardy plant grown from seed is more easily handled than the 

 Columbine. 



Seed may be sown in the open ground early in spring, and will, in 

 some 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. 



Columbines 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.

 tection of a little litter. In bloom from early spring until well on in 

 the summer. Easily raised from seed, which may be sown any 

 time from spring till August. For best resvdts, new plants should 

 be raised from seed each year. The following are the finest double 

 flowering kinds, selected after careful test out of over twenty sorts: 

 1591 Giant Rose. Each plant produces but a few flowers, 

 but these are of enormous size, almost as large as a 

 good-sized Aster i 



1593 Giant White. Same as the above except in color .. .
