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 grown in the herbaceous 
border and make charming specimens for 
vases and table decorations. 
The Aquilegias have acquired much of 
their popularity on account of their 
adaptability to all soils and conditions, 
est ey thrive happily even on very poor 
soil. 
They are also valuable because their 
piomang pened stretches over a time when 
there is likely to be a short lapse of bloom 
in most gardens, which is immediately after 
the spring bulbs are through flowering, and 
before the majority of perennials have

large handsome foliage; the flower stems,

equally as desirable when cut for vase and 
house decoration. (See illustration.) .. Pkt. 25e.
