Aquilegia longissima hp 
This beautiful North American variety 
obtained the Award of Merit at the recent 
Chelsea Show. Its most arresting feature con¬ 
sists of its very long spurs which proceed from 
the delicate pale yellow flowers and lend to 
the plant an inimitable grace. Seed is very 
scarce. Pkt. $1.50; 3 pkts. $4. 
Introducers of new plants are incurably optimistic. Slight variations in color, height 
of plant, blooming season, and other trifling matters may be the only distinction some 
novelties can claim. And yet just such a slight variation may convert a hitherto 
commonplace flower into a novelty of highest garden merit. 
We have done our best to sift the wheat from the chaff, so that we might present 
to you on these few pages only those things which seem to us to be genuinely new or 
improved in the more important details.
