New Aquilegia Clematida? Hybrida. 



The Clematis-flowered Columbine. 



While we have not flowered this new type of Columbine, we have no 

 hesitation in recommending it as an introduction of the famous Cali- 

 fornia hybridizer, Luther Burbank, who in describing it says : "A 

 hybrid variety of the Columbine from which the spurs have been 

 eliminated, giving the flower a flat Clematis-like appearance, in a great 

 variety of pleasing colors and shades, with many of unusual size. 

 While not all of the flowers show the true shape, all are a combination 

 of colors from many species which are certain to please. They are as 

 hardy as the common Columbine, and once planted, take care of 

 themselves." 15 cents each ; $1.50 per dozen.
