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.
