 velopment of this favorite flower. The plants are ex- 

 tremely robust with large handsome foliage; the flower 

 stems often 40 inches in height carry magnificent clusters 

 of immense long-spurred, single flowers which last a long 

 time in bloom. The colors are superb and varied, in- 

 cluding rich shades as well as many new and delicate 

 tints ; pure white, blue and white, pure yellow, pink

 purple, rose and white, salmon, lavender, mauve, etc.,

 fully hung on long stems, are not only brilliantly 

 effective on the plant, but equally as 

 desirable when cut for vase and 

 house decoration.

New Aquilegias for 1911 



Aquilegia Coerulea Candidissima. A charm- 

 ing new Columbine, which differs from the 

 whitish long-spurred kinds with colored 

 spurs by the uniform pure snowy whiteness of the entire bloom. 

 The latter is just as large and as long-spurred as that of the type- 

 form ccerulea and is further distinguished by beautiful and charac- 

 teristic light green foliage. Being a smaller plant of more graceful 

 habit than the other-ccerulea varieties, it presents an uncommonly 

 taking appearance and will assuredly give great pleasure to all 



lovers of Aquilegias Pkt. 25c. 



Double White of Ccerulea. A very pleasing plant about 2V> feet 

 high with light green foliage against which the numerous flowers 

 make an effective contrast. The flowers — borne erect — are very 

 large and very double often having 5 series of horns "chasing into 

 each other" as our French grower expresses it. The coloring is 

 pure white, slightly washed with light lilac at the extremities of 

 the spurs — early, profuse and continuous blooming Pkt. 20c.
