ANTIRRHINUM or SNAPDRAGON 
No bouquets needed for Antirrhinum, it will supply its 
own; but if you have a rock garden, do not overlook those 
delightful little species, A. asarina and A. molle.

striped bloom above thick gray foliage. Pkt. 15c.

AQUILEGIA or COLUMBINE 
For swaying airiness of blossom, for soft tones and subtle 
tintings, we must go to Columbine. Mostly the Columbines 
are plants of fullest hardiness and forthrightly adaptable. 
Neither are they at all difficult from seed, if only we will 
,take account of their predilection for cool soil, and sow 
in spring or fall; or if in summer, at least shade the 
seed bed.

The lovable garden is that which is not too obviously 
a garden. To build such a one, the gardener must 
co-operate with his plant material in appreciative 
understanding of its characteristics and its needs, 
rather than attempt simply to show his mastery of it.

ornamental value, but usually grown as pleasing vegetable.
