 Aquilegia Stuarti. Gardiner. 



A cross between Grigor's Glandulosa and Aquilegia Witmani, by 

 Dr. Stuart, Scotland. From the flower thus fertilized a pod was gath- 

 ered and the seed sown at once. Seven plants lived to be planted 

 out in the autumn in a- sheltered border. These all bore flowers 

 identically the same, the top blooms measuring 4 inches and more 

 across. It was named A. Stuarti by Professor Balfour. The follow- 

 ing points of superiority over A. glandulosa are given for this hybrid: 

 it is much larger, more free-flowering, and far more refined in form. 

 The much-admired Glandulosa of Grigor is a very shy flower. In the 

 new form raised by Dr. Stuart, this defect is to a large extent re- 

 moved.
