Aquilegia or Columbine 
The Columbines are 
among' the most ele¬ 
gant and beautiful 
hardy plants, producing 
their graceful long- 
spurred flowers on 
stems rising two feet 
or more above the 
beautifully divided fol¬ 
iage, and should be 
planted wherever their 
presence will serve' to 
lighten up a too stiff 
and formal planting. 
Taken as a whole they 
are one of the most im¬ 
portant parts of the 
hardy garden. The fol¬ 
lowing varieties are all 
suitable for cutting and 
are attractive when 
used with other flowers.

Dwarf Varieties for the Rock Garden 
All Aquilegias are suitable rock garden 
subjects but the following varieties are 
perhaps the best for that purpose. They 
are, of course, for border plantings as 
well. 
AKITENSIS. A miniature little Aquilegia, 
only 6 inches tall with small delicate 
blue flowers. 
Per 10, $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
EDELWEISS NANA COMPACTA. New 
erect growing variety with large snow 
white flowers.

RED RIDING HOOD. New double variety 
with calyx of old rose over a pure white 
double corolla. Very attractive.

ASTRANTIA 
MAJOR. Pretty rose and white flowers, 
fine border or rock plant. 
Per 10, $2.00; Per 100, $15.00 
ARTEMESIA 
A most useful class of plants, either 
for the border or for filling in among the 
shrubbery. 
GLOBIFOLIA. Resembles the variety Sil¬ 
ver King, but it has been said that Globi- 
folia holds the color and foliage a little 
longer. 
Per 10. $1.50; Per 100, $10.00 
LACTIFLORA. An excellent hardy bor¬ 
der plant, producing large, branching 
panicles of sweet scented, creamy white 
flowers, excellent for cutting. Three to 
four feet. August-September. A peren¬ 
nial you should have on hand for bou¬ 
quets. 
Per 10, $1.25; Per 100, $S.OO 
LUDOVICIANA. Extra fine, silvery-grey 
foliage, low growing. 
Per 10, $1.25; Per 100, $8.00 
PURSHIANA. Stems and leaves white- 
wooly, very decorative. Flowers white. 
Per 10, $1.00; Per 100, $7.00 
SILVER KING. Unquestionably one of 
the best all around decorative plants. Its 
bright silver-colored stems and foliage 
are of great value as a filler for bou¬ 
quets, sprays, baskets, or all sorts of 
floral pieces. By cutting and drying the 
stems it is very valuable in the winter 
for filler. Florists in our districts paid 
high prices for their supplies last win¬ 
ter. It is a showy plant in the perennial 
border or among shrubbery. Height 30 
inches.
