Aquilegia (Columbine) 



No hardy plant grown from seed is more easilj' handled than the 

 Columbine. 



Seed may be sown in the open ground in August or September, 

 and will come up early in spring and make vigorous plants, which 

 wiU bloom abundantly during the 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 airj- a grace as the Columbine, is more generous of its 

 blooms, or more effectively adapted for cut flowers.
