AQUILEGIA or COLUMBINE 



Aquilegias or Columbines are among the most beautiful of hardy spring 

 and early summer flowers, and unlike many perennials the best varieties are 

 produced from seed. They are very effective when growing in the herba- 

 ceous border and make charming specimens for vases and table decoration. 

 1150 Henderson's American Hybrid Columbine. The highest perfection 

 attained in the development of this favorite flower. The plants are 

 extremely 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, 

 including rich shades as well as many new and delicate tints; pure 

 white, blue and white, pure yellow, pink with yellow corolla, red with 

 orange corolla, cerise, purple, rose and white, salmon, lavender, mauve, 

 etc.. etc. The large, unique, long-spurred flowers, gracefully hung on 

 long stems, are not only brilliantly effective on the plant, but equally 

 as desirable when cut for vase and house decoration. (See engrav- 

 ing) Pkt. 25c.

ARGTOTIS GRANDIS 



A Beautiful New Annual from Southwest Africa 



1175 The large, pearly white, Marguerite-like flowers are borne on long 

 stems well above the foliage. The petals are white on the upper surface 

 and pale lilac on reverse and in the center of the flower is a light blue 

 disc surrounded with white stamens and a narrow golden band. 

 Seen in the bright sunlight a very charming effect is produced as the 

 white petals contrast beautifully with the blue disc and the stamens. 

 Very good for cutting. The plant is of branching habit and forms a 

 clump 2 to 3 feet high; when in flower the entire bush seems to be 

 covered with white down producing a very striking effect in either 

 bed or border. 



It is of very easy culture and flowers abundantly from early summer 

 to autumn. A place should be found for it in every garden.

 or light window, in a temperature of from 60 to 70 deg. , covering the
