WOLCOTT NURSERIES 
AQUILEGIA—Columbine 
Hardy Perennial 
The Aquilegias need no praise; they appeal to 
everyone by their grace and by the beauty of their flow¬ 
ers, the colors of the new hybrids being particularly 
handsome. All the Columbines may be used on the 
rockery, but it is better to leave the larger species and 
their varieties to the border, although some of them are 
very attractive when perched on some high spot. 
They thrive in shade or sun but prefer a rich, well- 
drained soil in partially shaded position. If not allowed 
to go to seed and not covered too heavily in winter, they 
will flourish for years and will not change their colors. 
Coal ashes put around the crown in the fall will help to 
prevent their decay.
