HENR Y A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA— FLOWER SEEDS 3 



Aquilegia (Columbine) 



No hardy plant grown from seed is more easily handled than the Columbine. 



Seed may be sown in the open ground early in spring, and will, in some cases, 

 bloom the same season; or they may be planted in August or September, and 

 will come up early in spring and make vigorous plants, which will bloom abun- 

 dantly during late spring and early summer. 



Columbines 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 as the 

 Columbine, is more generous of its blooms, or more effectively adapted for cut 

 flowers.

 strain is unquestionably the finest yet produced. The plants are of strong thrifty 

 growth with flowers of largest size, varying in color through charming tones of 

 .'cream, pink, lavender, blue, white, red, etc. We have been fortunate in securing 

 three distinct color selections in addition to the regular mixture and offer as follows:
