(Howard’s Hybrids) 
The Rocky Mountains have given us many beautiful flowers, but 
nothing to touch these marvelous Aquilegias with their lovely pastel 
shades, as delicate as a fleecy cloud in a Summer sky of palest blue. 
These charming colors run from light blue through all the shades of 
light pink, creamy white, delicate lavender, to brilliant scarlet. 
When massed in mixed color in the perennial border they give an 
effect of airy daintiness not surpassed by any other flower. Assorted 
colors only.
