quantity. : 
For complete list see our Garden Book for 1927. Copies free on request. 
Aquilegias, or Columbines 
The Columbines are one of the most elegant and beauti- 
ful hardy plants, and should be planted wherever their 
presence will serve to lighten up a too stiff and formal 
planting, for no other plant has so airy a grace, is more 
generous of its blooms, or more effectively adapted for 
cut flowers. : 
Dreer’s Long-spurred Mixed Hybrids. This is the 
most admired type of Columbines. The flowers of 
largest size vary in color through charming tones of 
cream, pink, lavender, blue, white, red, etc. 3O cts. 
each; $2.50 per dozen. 
Fall-flowering Hardy Asters 
(Michaelmas Daisies, or Starworts) 
These are among the showiest of our late-flowering 
hardy plants, giving a wealth of bloom during September 
and October, a season when most other hardy flowers are 
past. The collection offered below is made up of the 
choicest varieties only.
