The Columbines have an established place in 
all old-fashioned gardens. Their curious forms 
and many pleasing shades of color, and the 
readiness with which they adapt themselves 
to all localities, have made them prime favor- 
ites. The different species and varieties are 
very much mixed, but we use every means to 
keep them true to name. 
Aquilegia alpina. In many shades of blue and 
purple. June. 2 feet. 
A. coerulea (the true Rocky Mountain Colum- 
bine). An exquisite flower, with pale blue

have spared no pains and expense to procure 
a good stock of this desirable flower, so that 
our stock is exceptionally fine. 
A. Canadensis. Scarlet. May and June. 1 
foot. A pretty flower for rockwork and 
partially shaded places.

and pretty, either in or out of bloom. It is 
the first to flower in April or May. The 
large white flowers and glaucous green fo- 
liage, combined with its compact habit, make 
it a treasure among perennials. It is one 
of the most valuable plants for the hardy 
garden.

tra large white flowers.
