FOR THE BEGINNER. The easier kinds for those 
without particular experience in growing things, are 
marked with key letter “e”. Many rare and beauti¬ 
ful things are marked, and it is suggested that be¬ 
ginners confine their selections to such; at least until 
experience has been gained. Of course “e” means 
only that the kinds are relatively easy when cultural 
directions are followed. One may fail even with 
radishes, if they are sown at the wrong time, or in 
the wrong way.

in pure pink. Give it a full sunny bank. 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.

it is to be assumed lhat it is an ornamental. Cer¬ 
tainly not less than nine out of every ten of our 
offerings are ornamentals of high worth.
