Aquilegia (Columbine) 



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 

 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.
