AQUILEGIA—Continued 
CRIMSON STAR. English Novelty. Flowers very large with crimson sepals 
and spurs, and white petals. Per pkt. 25c. 
DOBBIE’S IMPERIAL HYBRIDS. Unquestionably the finest strain of Aquilegia 
ever offered. This strain, which we have kept under close observation, is 
the concentrated work of ten years’ selection and re-selection, carried out 
by Mr. D. Thomson, the Schoolhouse, Duns. It is noteworthy for its very 
long spurs, fine form, and magnificent range of color. Among the “blues” will 
be found many tints of mauve, lilac, lavender, heliotrope, etc. The “reds” 
showL almost every graduation from the palest pink to bright scarlet. A very 
special novelty—Dobbie’s description. Finest mixed, per pkt. 15c; 1/16 oz. 50c. 
SNOW QUEEN. A tall, long spurred, pure white variety with extra long spurs

GLANDULOSA VERA. The true blue Siberian Columbine. Beautiful blue and 
white flowers with recurving spurs. Fine for pot culture. Seeds require pa¬ 
tience (4 to 6 weeks). This is a rare treasure. Per pkt. 25c. 
MRS. SCOTT ELLOITT’S STRAIN. Many columbine lovers consider this the 
loveliest of all modern long spurred strains, and indeed you will get some 
of the loveliest flowers you ever had with a marvelous range of delicate colors; 
our seed parents were especially lovely this year having obtaind the original 
seeds from a noted specialist of the ELLIOTT strain in England last year. 
Seed: % oz. 90c; 1/16 oz. 50c; 2 pkts. 25c; per pkt. 15c. 
UNWIN’S SWEET SCENTED HYBRIDS (New). 2V 2 feet. They produced this 
new and distinct race by crossing the Long-Spurred type with a very large, 
broad-cupped, scented species sent us several years ago by a customer in 
northern India. In the main, these hybrids are large-flowered and long-spurred, 
while a very big percentage possess a delicate perfume closely resembling that 
of the scented peonies. Though practically all the colors which are found in 
the Long-Spurred hybrids are included, most of the seedlings are lavender, 
mauve or blue in various tones, with bold white and yellow cups. 1/16 oz. 50c, 
pkt. 15c. 
BLUE KING. (2 ft.) A much improved strain, the result of many years’ careful 
selection. The VIVID DEEP BLUE flowers are very large with extra long 
spurs. This strain comes about 90% true. Seeds: 1/16 oz. 50c; 2 pkts. 25c; per 
pkt. 15c.
