Colonial Strain, the Columbine of grand¬ 
mother’s garden, seed offered is grown by us from an 
old European strain of great vigor, hardiness and 
beauty, plants are 4 feet high, color combinations are: 
Blue, Blue-black, Lilac, Pink, Rose and White. Seed 
is easy to germinate and plants adapt themselves far 
better than the long-spurred Columbine’s to a variety 
of conditions and many growers and garden enthusi¬ 
asts who have despaired growing Columbines because 
of their failure to make the long-spurred succeed will 
come back to Columbines when they find out how 
easy the vulgaris varieties are. All colors.
