Aquilegia [Columbine] 
$16 to $20 per 100 
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 favorites. The dififerent 
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. casrulea (the true Rocky Mountain Colum- 
bine). An exquisite flower, with pale blue 
sepals and white petals. June, i^feet. We 
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, i 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 foliage, com- 
bined with its compact habit, make it a treasure 
among perennials. It is one of the most valu- 
able plants for the hardy garden. 
A. grandiflora. A variety of Vulgaris, with extra 
large white flowers.

shades of blue and purple. June. 2 feet.

strong, spirituous liquor.

be planted, will keep the garden gay from June 
until frost.
