Aquilegias or Columbines 
Old time favorites by reason of their uniquely formed flowers, held gracefully on long, slender stems, and the 
fact that they flower for a long period; during late spring and through the summer. They are of the easiest culture, 
thriving upon all soils, even though wet and shaded, and the flowers are so pure in color, so interesting and so 
desirable for cutting, the Columbines are well nigh indispensable. They attain a height of quite two feet, except 
A. flabellata nana, which grows but about 12 inches high. The foliage of all resembles a Maiden Hair Fern and is 
very airy and beautiful. 
CANADENSIS. Wild Honeysuckle —Bright red and yel¬ 
low flowers, held gracefully on very long stems. Of

CHRYSANTHA. Golden Spurred Columbine —Flowers 
of rich golden yellow, with long slender spurs; fragrant 
and very handsome. Blooms all summer.

ers composed of five petals of bright violet-blue and a

effective and elegant flower, pure white and hung on long
