AQUILEGIA —(Columbine) Will do in almost 
any soil and location, although they pre¬ 
fer a sandy loam and a moist but well 
drained position. Their presence serves 
to lighten up a stiff or formal planting,

♦jonesi —A rare native of the Rockies of 
the Northwest and one of the most 
sought-for plants in the world. Not dif¬ 
ficult if given the proper treatment. Be¬ 
ing a lime-lover, some ground limestone 
should be added to the loam, silt, stone 
chips or gritty gravel and leafmold. Per¬ 
fect drainage is essential, and the crown 
should be a little above the level of the 
soil, and surrounded by stone chips. If 
flowering occurs during rainy weather, 
a pane of glass should be placed over the 
plant to permit perfect development of 
the flower. Compact tufts of greyish 
foliage about 2 inches high, with the lav¬ 
ender blue flowers borne singly on 4 inch 
stems, $1.50 to $2.50 each.

fectly porous, with a mixture of rock 
chips and sharp drainage. 35c each.

ful colors. 25c each.
