AQUILEGIA or COLUMBINE 
For swaying airiness of blossom, for soft tones and subtle 
tintings, we must go to Columbine. Mostly the Columbines 
are plants of fullest hardiness and forthrightly adaptable. 
Neither are they at all difficult from seed, if only we will 
take account of their predilection for cool soil, and sow 
in spring or fall; or if in summer, at least shade the 
seed bed.

TIME OF SOWING 
With every lot of seeds sent out, I include a four- 
page folder of cultural information, giving general 
data as to time of year when various kinds of seeds 
mav be sown. Please do not ask questions on such

Berry. Hardiest of evergreen trailers, making wide-spread¬ 
ing carpets of dense evergreen leaves. In spring, cherry- 
scented pink blossoms; later the plants are loaded with 
gleaming ruby berries. No better ground-cover where 
suited, but that means good drainage, a soil not too 
heavy, and slight acidity. It prefers scattering shade, but 
grows in sun when other conditions are right. Pkt. 10c;

parte, and despite its name, it is a child of Corsica.
