COLUMBINE. (Aquilegia.) 
No hardy plant is more easily grown than the Columbine. Seed may be planted in the 
open ground early in spring, and will, in the case of the single varieties, bloom the same 
season. Or they may be planted in August or September, and will come up early in spring 
and make vigorous plants, which will bloom freely during late spring and early summer. 
They do well in sun or half shade. No other plant has so airy a grace as the Columbine, is 
more generous of blooms, or better adapted for cut flowers. In this mixture are shades of 
yellow and orange, blue and white, pure white, pink, dark red, and the red and yellow 
native Columbine, many of them having long spurs. Packet, 5 cents. 
COSMOS. 
Should be sown in spring, in the open 
ground, when danger from frost is past, 
or the seed may be started under cover 
and afterwards transplanted. When 
the plants are about a foot high, the 
tops should be pinched out to induce a 
bushy growth, and this should be con¬ 
tinued until the middle of July, when 
they should have formed nice, bushy 
plants three feet high by the same in 
diameter.
