These showy perennials can he treated as annuals by 
sowing the seed under glass during January or Febru¬ 
ary. The tall sorts are fine in borders. The dwarf 
make splendid beds. They prefer a light, warm, but a * 
well enriched soil. Seed sown outdoors in May will 
produce satisfactory results. If grown indoors they 
require about the same temperature and treatment as 
carnations. Most of the varieties are fairly hardy and 
will live through winter if well covered. 
Three good Greenhouse varieties which we consider the 
best for use under glass: 
Nelrose. A beautiful shade of silvery pink. 
Phelps White. Very free-flowering pure white.

AQUILEGIA 
(Columbine) 
This family is one of the most beautiful and 
popular among hardy perennials. The dif¬ 
ferent varieties present an unusual wealth of 
color and form. For growing in borders or 
Filling up bays in shrubbery they are unsur¬ 
passed. Seed sown in the house, in March 
will frequently produce bloom the same year. 
It is best, however, to sow seed out of doors 
when ground warms up. Any ordinary gar¬ 
den soil is suitable for their growth. The 
flowers are fragrant. 54 oz. Pkt.
