A colony of u rock-loving ” Columbines. 
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 perdoz.; 
P., 12 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. Seeds, 10 cts. 
per pkt. 
A. chrysantha. Golden-spurred Columbine. A 
hardy species from the Rocky Mountains. Vig¬ 
orous in habit and a long time in flower. One of 
the best. The plant is bushy and attains a 
height of 2% feet. Summer. N., 15 cts. each, 
$1.25 per doz.; P., 18 cts. each, $1.40 per doz. 
Seeds, 8 cts. per pkt. 
A. fascicularis. This I have not yet wintered here. 
N., 15 cts. each; P., 18 cts. each. 
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 
lara'e 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. Seeds, 10 cts. per pkt.
