COLUMBINE (Aquilegia) [hP-2ii ft.] In a recent contest 

 more people all over the country voted for this blossom as

 without a liberal assortment of these delicately graceful 

 plants which bloom so early in the season. From a clump 

 of light green leaves at the base the branching stems pro- 

 ject, carrying their long-spurred blossoms. Many of these 

 have star-shaped rings of outer petals surrounding their 

 central tubes. The plants look frail, and yet they are strong 

 and hardy and will thrive in almost every situation, pre- 

 ferring partial shade and considerable moisture. As cut 

 flowers they are artistic when the branches are arranged 

 in natural form.
