RELIABLE FLOWER SEEDS/ 



67 



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 make vigorous plants, which will bloom abundantly during the late spring and early summer. 2 to 3 feet. 

 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, more generous of its blooms, or more effectively 

 adapted for cut flowers. per pkt.
