The Columbines are among the most elegant and beautiful hardy plants, producing their graceful 
long-spurred flowers on stems rising two feet or more above the beautifully divided foliage, and 
should be planted wherever their presence will serve to lighten up a too stiff and formal planting. 
Taken as a whole they are one of the most important parts of the hardy garden. The following var¬ 
ieties are all suitable for cutting and are attractive when used with other flowers.
