Aquilegia Longissima 
Award of Merit, Royal Horticultural Society 
7YLTHOUGH Longissima grows native in California and other western sec- 
tions of the United States and Mexico, it had to go to England for recog¬ 
nition before being generally introduced to gardens in this country. It was 
granted an Award of Merit after being shown at the Royal Horticultural Society 
a few years ago and since that time has enjoyed considerable popularity in 
its native land. The flowers are of striking formation, with deep yellow petals 
and paler yellow sepals, and extremely elongated spurs. These spurs may be 
5 inches or more in length. The effect is at once dainty, unusual and arresting. 
The plants are from 2 to 3 feet tall, with characteristic bright green cut-leaf foli¬ 
age and reddish stems. Flowers are produced during spring and early summer 
and are effective in the garden although much more so in flower arrangements
