 August through November, according to variety.

Aquilegia (Columbine) 



One of the most valuable of the early-flowering 

 perennials. The long-spurred blooms and lengthy 

 stems are well adapted to use as cut-flowers, but 

 they also produce a beautiful effect when massed in 

 the garden. They do best in light soil in a sheltered 

 location that gets the sunshine. 1 to 2 ft. May, June. 

 Caerulea. The Rocky Mountain blue Columbine. 

 Canadensis. 15 to 18 in. Our native Columbine.

 be forced into bloom again the following winter.

 Chinensis, providing desirable blue for bedding and 

 cutting material ail season. Delphiniums require
