No. 274. Columbine or Aquilegia 
Charming hardy plants bearing in countless 
numbers through May and June exquisite clear, 
blue, white, rose, yellow, purple and striped 
blossoms. For planting in permanent borders or 
edges of shrubbery this old-fashioned favorite is 
one of the best. They thrive well with ordinary 
garden culture, but do best in partially shaded 
nooks. Few hardy perennials are so easily grown 
from seed. Will bloom first season if sown very 
early. Sow the seed, which is of rather slow ger¬ 
mination, in open ground early in spring in any 
rich, well drained garden soil. In permanent bed 
plants should have at least one foot each way. 
Keep clear of weeds and give each year a dress¬ 
ing of well rotted manure or sheep fertilizer. 
Seed may also be sown outdoors in fall. Hardy 
herbaceous perennials ; two to three feet high.
