This graceful Hardy Perennial Is an Ideal plant for partially shaded borders. As a cut 
flower It Is noted for Its beauty of form and richness of color. 
CmTUSE. Columbines, especially the long-spurred hybrids, thrive In a light soil, loose 
and fibrous, provided by adding peat and well-decayed manure. When planted In partial 
shade, the flowers develop better, grow larger and last longer. Easily raised from seed. 
@901 IiONGISSIMA. The flowers are of 
striking formation, with deep yellow pet¬ 
als and paler yellow sepals, and extremely 
elongated spurs. These spurs may be 5 
Inches or more in length. The effect is at 
once dainty, unusual and interesting. The 
plants are from 2 to 3 feet tall, with char¬ 
acteristic bright green cut-leaf foliage, 
and reddish stems. Flowers are produced 
during spring and early summer and are 
effective in the garden, although much 
more so In flower arrangements. Pkt., 35c.
