A. Liliastrum. See Paradisea. 
AQUILEGIA. Columbine. A valuable genus of alpine 
plants of many colors and sizes. Some are in¬ 
clined to be biennial in cultivation, others last 
two or three years, while some are as permanent 
perhaps as any perennials. A pretty cluster of 
these rock-loving Columbines is shown above. 
A. caerulea. Blue Rocky Mountain Honeysuckle. 
This is one of the most attractive when in bloom, 
but, unfortunately, it seldom lasts more than a j 
season in cultivation. Blooms in May and June, j 
and is very floriferous. N., 20 cts. each; P., j 
23 cts. each. Seeds, 10 cts. per pkt. | 
Aquilegia Canadensis. American Wild Columbine, 
or Honeysuckle. Flowers an inch long, red and 
yellow. A good plant for the rockery or shaded 
situation and does well under all conditions. 
Blooms in May. N., 10 cts. each, $1 per doz.; 
P., 12 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
A. chrysantha. Golden-spurred Columbine. A 
hardy species from the Rocky Mountains. Vig¬ 
orous in habit and along time in flower. One of 
the best. The plant is bushy and attains a 
height of 2Y 2 feet. Summer. N., 15 cts. each, 
$1.15 per doz.; P., 18 cts. each, $1.35 per doz. 
Seeds, 8 cts. per pkt. 
A. oxysepala. First in bloom and one of the most 
charming of all the Columbines. A native of 
Siberia, it is quite hardy and seems to be more 
permanent than many species. 1 have plants 
now growing at least five years old. It is not 
so tall as some, but spreads with age, making 
large clumps. Coming among the first spring 
flowers, I can think of no plant in my list of 
more value in its place. It seems to hold its 
characteristics better than most Columbines, 
not mixing and varying as most species do; 
this is owing, perhaps, to the fact that most of 
its flowers come before other species. N., 15 
cts. each, $1.25 per doz.; P., 18 cts. each, $1.45 
per doz. 
A. — , var. atropurpurea A variety with dark, 
wine-colored flowers. Very hardy and perma¬ 
nent. June. N., 12c. each; P., 15c. each.
