Aquilegia • Columbine 
As a cut-flower, the Long-spurred Aqui- 
Iegias are the daintiest of our outdoor-grown 
flowers. They come in blues, whites, and 
yellows, and shades of pink and rose, re¬ 
main in bloom for a long season, and are 
vigorous and long-lived. They are not at all 
particular as to soil or location, although 
they prefer a sandy loam and a moist but 
well-drained, sunny position, and usually 
make themselves at home in any hardy 
border or rockery. Their period of flowering 
covers the late spring and early summer 
months.

Dropmore. The rich gentian-blue tones of its 
flowers fill a vacancy in this color, of

particularly during their flowering period, 
which covers the months of May and June. 
It forms much-branched specimens 3 to 5 
feet high, each branch terminated by a 
large, pyramidal, graceful spike, and while 
the habit of the plant is strong and 
vigorous, they are not at all coarse. 
Plants 25c each; 70c for 3; $2.50 for 12. 
Bleeding-Heart • Dicentra 
Spectabilis. An old-fashioned favorite. Its 
long racemes of graceful, heart-shaped, 
pink flowers are always attractive. Used 
largely for forcing, and is perfectly at 
home in any part of the hardy border, and 
especially valuable for planting in the 
shade. Large clumps of plants, 45c each; 
$1.25 for 3. 
Butterfly Bush • Buddleia 
Magnifica. A very popular, shrub-like plant 
growing 3 to 4 feet high and covered all
