AQUILEGIAS, or Col- 
umbines, are a splendid 
line of plants that I spe- 
cialize in. You must see 
the great, heavily rooted 
plants that I send out to 
know what they should be. 
See general catalogue 
for most varieties. I 
must especially mention 
here the following: 
*A. casrulea hybrida is 
a much improved form of 
the Colorado Blue, not so 
much in beauty as in that 
it is a fine vigorous grower. 
It is lovely blue and 
white. 20 cts. each, $2 
per doz. 
A. chrysantha, with its 
long-spurred flowers of a 
very attractive light yel- 
low, grows to even 4 feet 
high. Heavy plants, 15 
cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
For my WOLLY DOD 
HYBRIDS I sent to 
Handsome, showy, dainty, graceful Columbine England with instructions 
to get the very best. I 
got them, but only in mixed colors in shades of blue, pale yellow, white, and pink. 
20 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
ASTERS. See Michaelmas Daisies, page n. 
BLEEDING-HEART. See Dicentra spectabilis, page 4. 
*BOCCONIA cordata, or Plume Poppy, is a very handsome plant indeed and well 
lit ted for a central place in large borders or in front of shrubbery. The leaves are large. 
The stout stems arc 5 to 7 feet high, and the pink flowers, which are very lasting, 
are borne in long plumy panicles. It remains in fine foliage until the heavy frosts. Sil., 
sun. PL, October to April. Soil, deep ground and better if loose. To form a line group, 
plant 18 inches apart using six plants or more. 25 cts. each, $2 per doz. 
BOLTONIAS are of the aster tribe, stout-stemmed plants, bearing myriads of little 
single flowers in late summer and making fine masses. 
*B. asteroides is white, while B. latisquama is soft lavender. Sil., sun, or light shades. 
PL, October to April. Soil, any garden soil, but the best pays; moderate watering to 
moist. Prop., divisions in winter. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
*BALM, or Sweet Basil (Melissa officinalis), is one of the old pot herbs, but, next 
to Lemon Verbena, the sweetest thing in the garden. The foliage is green. 20 cts. each.
