Perennials Are the Backbone of the Flower Garden 
Beilis perennis Aquilegia Campanula Medium 
Aquilegia • Columbine 
The Columbines are among the most beau¬ 
tiful hardy perennial border plants, with 
graceful foliage and producing handsome 
flowers on long stems. They are of easy 
cultivation, thriving in almost any location, 
but preferring light, sandy, well-drained soil. 
Half-shade will not hurt them. Seed may be 
planted in the open ground early in spring 
and will in some varieties bloom in the same 
season. Best results, however, are obtained 
by planting in August for the next season’s 
blooming.
