Aquilegias or Columbines are among the most beautiful of hardy spring 
and early summer flowers, and unlike many perennials the best varieties are 
produced from seed. They arc very effective when growing in the herba¬ 
ceous border and make charming specimens for vases and table decoration.

attained in the development of this favorite flower. The plants are 
extremely robust with large handsome foliage; the flower stems, often 
40 inches in height, carry magnificent clusters of immense long-spurred 
single flowers which last a long time in bloom. The colors are superb, 
including rich shades as well as many new and delicate tints; pure 
white, blue and white, pure yellow, pink with yellow corolla, red with 
orange corolla, cerise, purple, rose and white, salmon, lavender, mauve, 
etc., etc. The large, unique, long-spurred flowers, gracefully hung on 
long stems, arc not only brilliantly effective on the plant, but equally 
as desirable when cut for vase and house decoration. ( See engrav¬

ARCTOTIS GRANDIS 
A Beautiful New Annual from Southwest Africa 
1175 The large, pearly white, Marguerite-like flowers are borne on long 
stems well above the foliage. The petals are white on the upper surface 
and pale lilac on reverse and in the center of the flower is a light blue 
disc surrounded with white stamens and a narrow golden band. 
Seen in the bright sunlight a very charming effect is produced as the 
white petals contrast beautifully with the blue disc and the stamens. 
Very good for cutting. The plant is of branching habit and forms a 
clump 2 to 3 feet high; when in flower the entire bush seems to be 
covered with white down producing a very striking effect in either 
bed or border. 
It is of very easy culture and flowers abundantly from early summer 
to autumn. A place should be found for it in every garden. 
Culture Sow in shallow boxes of light soil in the greenhouse, hotbed 
or light window, in a temperature of from 60 to 70 deg., covering the 
seeds to a depth of only four times their size, press down with a board 
firmly, water with a fine spray, and do not allow the seedlings to dry 
out. Transplant 1 inch apart into similar boxes or 2-inch pots, when 
the seedlings have formed 2 or 3 leaves. Plant out in the garden after 
danger from frost; the seed can also be sown in the open ground after 
danger is over from frost. ( See engraving.) . Pkt. 10c.
