AQUILEGIA TRIAL, 1914. 



FoRty-two stocks of seed were received, and all were sown on 

 April 9, 1913, and planted out on deeply trenched ground on June 7. 

 All the plants made excellent growth, and were examined by the 

 Floral Committee on May 26, 1914. Unfortunately there was a 

 sharp frost on the same morning (20° F. on the grass), injuring 

 the blooms somewhat, and followed by a still sharper frost on the 

 morning of the 27th (19° F. on the grass). This killed all the 

 blooms that were open and most of the advanced buds, but later 

 on a second growth was made, and a good crop of flowers was 

 produced, but small as compared with the first. 



There is probably no flower that is so difficult to get true from 

 seed as the Aquilegia, and nearly all stocks showed a considerable 

 amount of variation.
