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. 
AQUILEGIA AKITENSIS—erh(2)9. Silvered foliage, with 
big flowers just over, soft powder-blue, shading to olive at

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. 
ARALIA CORDATA—Udo. A hardy perennial with some 
ornamental value, but usually grown as pleasing vegetable. 
When the young shoots emerge in spring, they are blanched
