AQUILEGIAS 
Columbines combine as 
many good points as any 
group of garden flowers. 
With hardiness and ease 
of culture, they have 
handsome foliage at all 
seasons and beautiful flow- 
ers borne gracefully on 
long stems. While a light 
shade and loose, loamy 
soil are best, they do well 
in the full sun, and in any 
soil from light loam to 
adobe. Fall or winter 
planting i s preferable. 
They are admirable for a 
fern-bed.
